"We are grateful for this donation from Saint Louis Closet Co.,” said Laura Kleffner, vice president of development at Mission: St. Louis. “COVID-19 has created uncertain times for many and the support from our community gives us hope for the future and allows us to continue the fight against poverty. Thank you, Saint Louis Closet Co., for this donation."
Funds raised will assist programs including Beyond Jobs and Beyond School.
