1. Give Time – We are all busy, but chances are you have at least one hour this year (hopefully a few more) to give to a charity that matters to you. Whether you are building houses in the community, answering the phone in an office, or serving dinner at a local shelter, the time you give allows programs and services to continue. Sign up to volunteer at LFCS today!
2. Give Talent – Pro-bono services make it possible for non-profits to direct their budgeted dollars to those in need. From attorneys and accountants to cooks and custodians –nearly all talents can benefit the day to day operations of a non-profit. Learn more about lending your talents to LFCS now!
3. Give Treasure – Jobs, families and other commitments may make giving time and talent difficult. If you have the means, make a financial contribution to your favorite organization. From $1 that feeds a child for a day to $100,000 that underwrites a year of programming, every amount makes a difference. Consider making a donation to LFCS today!

No matter which resolution you chose, you will make an impact within your community and feel great too! Here’s to making the best of 2016!

Mark your calendars for MAY 5!  LFCS is once again participating in Give STL Day ~ a 24-hour online giving event with local impact!

Give STL Day is a big, bold opportunity for us and for our community.  A partnership between the Greater Saint Louis Community Foundation and local nonprofits from across the area, Give STL Day is an online day of giving where nonprofits like ours will be reaching out to our donors ~ and looking for new ones ~ as we educate about our mission and raise operating funds.  We raised nearly $8,000 last year, and Give STL Day overall generated a total of $1.1 million for the 528 participating nonprofits.

Local impact with a national twist.  Like last year, we will be joining more than 100 communities across the country to raise millions of dollars for the greater good ~ all on a single day.

Everyone can be a philanthropist.  On May 5, we’re asking every person in the St. Louis area to get behind this effort and give.  Large and small gifts will combine for big impact ~ It’s time to think big.

Single day, lasting impact.  All the funds raised will benefit participating nonprofits.  It’s time to be bold.  We want YOUR support for LFCS!

A virtual event with a personal touch.  The Give STL Day website will make giving easy, safe and fun.  By visiting givestlday.org on May 5, you can designate your gift to LFCS!

Visit www.givestlday.org for additional details, and don’t forget to give May 5!
