We want to thank the Productive Living Board (PLB) for approving our grant and our generous donors from the STL Gives campaign for helping us raise enough money to pay off not one but both of our vans. These vans are vital to our program and will allow us to develop new and exciting activities within the community for our clients.

As many know, COVID necessitated us changing our program activities quite a bit and prevented us from many of the community activities that our clients love and that help them generalize the skills we are teaching them on-site into their greater community. We are excited to get back out in the community and expand our learning activities. In addition, with these vans paid in full, we are now able to channel those funds towards increasing our staffs’ wages. We have the best staff that I have ever been lucky enough to work with and who show the most loving and compassionate care for our clients daily. This increase is much deserved for all of the hard work they do on a daily basis.
