ST. LOUIS – After more than a year of isolation and muted celebrations, the St. Louis Christmas Carols Association is excited to bring cheer and goodwill to our neighbors during the 2021 caroling season.

Since 1911, St. Louis Christmas Carols Association (SLCCA) has spread cheer and goodwill throughout our St. Louis community by caroling in neighborhoods around the metro region. This season, volunteer caroling groups will collect donations for 28 St. Louis children’s charities as they bring community spirit to our neighborhood front doors and public spaces through the gift of song. Charity partners include Annie’s Hope, Center for Hearing and Speech, Family Forward, Girls on the Run St. Louis, The Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri, SouthSide Early Childhood Center, and others.

"After such a hard holiday season in 2020, we are all craving joy and community. Caroling is good for your body and builds relationships with friends and neighbors! For the past 110 years, all donations collected by our volunteer carolers have been directed toward non-profit agencies serving kids in our region. It’s a win for all involved!” said StLCCA Executive Director, Elizabeth Hogan. "We’re so excited for the 2021 caroling season and we invite everyone to gather a group of friends, family or neighbors and come caroling with us. Come together to celebrate community with each other, and bring joy to those who may not be able to get out over this festive season. No experience is necessary – the only qualification needed is a desire to spread cheer to those with whom we share our neighborhoods and support kids in St. Louis."

Despite the restrictions on in-person caroling in 2020, StLCCA raised $20,000 for 20 area children’s charities through virtual caroling efforts, and this year we hope to make an impact on the lives of our community’s children by raising $50,000 during this holiday season.
