WellSpring Resources will be participating in Give STL Day on May 5. Give STL Day is a 24-hour giving event hosted by Greater Saint Louis Community Foundation. The event is intended to help non-profits all over the St. Louis Metro East by rallying support from community donors. Lura January, WellSpring Resources' Director of Development, said that this online event could have a positive impact on many struggling individuals and families in the Riverbend area.
"Funds raised from this event will support our Consumer Assistance Fund, also known as the CAF," January said. "The CAF provides temporary financial assistance to low-income consumers who are facing barriers to recovery. For example, we may grant CAF assistance to a single mom who has to choose between feeding her kids and paying for her medication because she was laid off last month."
