Pass the Buck!  Winter is the most deadly time of the year, as many house fires are caused by unsafe methods of heating homes. There will be an increase in some home energy sources this winter. In addition, many area seniors, the disabled and households with small critically ill children in the St. Louis region also have had high electric bills this past summer, that they are carrying over in the winter months.

They are challenged with cooling and natural gas bills, and making choices between eating and heating and their high prescription bills.  Most of our needy recipients would prefer not to accept charity, unfortunately they may be on fixed-incomes, or dealing with critical health and affordability issues.  There is also a need for the Missouri and Illinois individuals and families to play catch-up on their home heating bills from last winter. SAFETY is also an issue, as many use unsafe methods of heating. WE denounce the use of electric heaters. Instead getting their primary heating source turned on which is safer.

The need to support our charity and utility check-off types is greater than ever. We need your support. Too many needy families have temporarily fallen on hard times. They too need the same wholesome opportunities of having a healthier, safer and warmer winter. Need knows no geographic boundaries.

Help us Pass the Buck!  When you give to our winter or summer not-for-profit charity, keep in mind that we are an all-volunteer board and diverse effort. All administrative costs necessary to run the programs are donated by our board members, so that every red dollar you give goes directly to the qualified needy people. Very few charities can make this claim. We also partner with about 48  social service and community action agencies and other governmental entities, including Ameren Missouri, Ameren Illinois and Spire Energy, etc.  in about 45 Missouri and Illinois counties, including the City of St. Louis to screen qualified applicants and help clients.
