GiveSTL Day is May 1st

GiveSTL Day is coming soon!

WHAT IS IT?

GiveSTL is an online day of giving where nonprofits (like us!) reach out to their supporters to help them in their mission. Last year, GiveSTL day generated 2.135 million in donations for 823 participating organizations.

Last year, thanks to our wonderful supporters, we hit a new record: $5,689 raised in one day. St. Louis frequently tops the list of most charitable cities, and we consider ourselves lucky to be surrounded by such amazing and generous people.

Our goal this year is $6,000. The money raised will go towards veterinary bills, and provide food and supplies for our cats in foster care; current and future.
