Changing and Saving Lives Through the Power of Aviation
The Wings of Hope Medical Relief & Air Transport (MAT) Program provides medical air transport services, free of charge, to individuals who need specialized medical care that is not available to them locally. Using aircraft specially outfitted with stretchers to accommodate fragile and non-ambulatory patients, we fly individuals to hospitals and treatment centers in 26 states within a 600-mile radius of our St. Louis headquarters.
Voice for the Army, Support for the Army
Since 1950, the Association of the United States Army (AUSA) has connected the Total Army—past, present, and future—and its supporters with educational resources, representation and community outreach to aid the U.S. Army's unique role in national security.
Our Mission is Critical, Our Duty is Clear
Semper Fi & America’s Fund cares for our nation’s critically wounded, ill, and injured service members, veterans, and military families. Supporting all branches of the U.S. Armed Forces, we provide one-on-one case management, connection, and lifetime support. Today. Tomorrow. Together.
The Mission of MaryGrove
As one of the largest therapeutic residential treatment programs in Missouri, Marygrove is a new beginning for children, teens, and young adults who call our campus their home. The youth at Marygrove live and grow in a safe, nurturing environment, and have opportunity to heal in a stable, family-like setting. Professional caregivers provide compassion, encouragement, and structure while therapists provide individualized treatment plans and counseling to help each child overcome personal obstacles and establish responsible, attainable goals for the short and long-term future.
Marygrove enriches the lives of hundreds of youth each year, ages birth-21, through a broad continuum of residential and community-based programming and wraparound services, including therapeutic residential treatment and foster care, transitional and independent living, special education and recreational therapy, family counseling, and parenting education. Trauma-informed care is the foundation of all Marygrove treatment. Through this approach, Marygrove helps mitigate adverse childhood experiences while preventing future homelessness and trauma. Using a Positive Youth Development framework, our youth are consistently supported in identifying their strengths and using their skills toward personal growth, development, and success.
The Mission of STL Area Foodbank

Through our network of partners and programs across 26 counties in Eastern Missouri and Southwestern Illinois we are working to revolutionize the hunger relief system.
The Mission of Caritas Connections
Caritas Connections collects donated items and distributes them at no cost, to worthy organizations in the St. Louis metropolitan area, who use them to clothe, feed and assist the needy in our community. Please note that we do not take furniture or electronics (other than laptops).
Food and Staples – We pick up items such as bread, canned goods, cookies, sweets and other food products from stores and restaurants, and deliver them to our clients who in turn, help feed the hungry.
Clothing – We collect clothing from businesses and private donors, separate them by size, and deliver them to organizations for distribution to the needy.
Personal Care Items – We accept shampoo, deodorant, soaps, toilet paper and lotion. These items are not covered by food stamps and greatly help those in need.
Travel size toiletry items – We make Ziploc bags for homeless outreach programs which include travel sized toiletries. We accept those items as donations and supplement what we are given to provide the bags.
Computers – We collect laptop computers less than 5 years old for the St. Louis Federal Probation Office Reach Higher program. The Reach Higher program provides laptops to ex-offenders who are working to pursue their degree in vocational programs, colleges or universities.
Monetary Donations – Funds donated are used to buy food, staples and personal care items on a monthly basis. We maximize our resources by purchasing in bulk at discount prices. Through your generosity and our work, together we help the elderly in need, children in crisis, and homeless adults.
