Since 1991, my Saint Louis Closet Co. team and I have been giving back to the St. Louis community by recognizing, donating, and supporting a chosen charity each month. When Saint Louis Closet Co. was founded, I received unwavering support from the community and have never questioned my willingness to do just the same.
Since the beginning of 2020, our program, “Closets for a Cause”, has been able to donate over $21,000 back into the community by donating a portion of our gross sales to the people and charities we care about.
Charity of the Month—Mission: St. Louis
During the month of October, we have partnered with Mission: St Louis, a charity founded in 2007 that is dedicated to empowering people to transform their lives, families, and neighborhoods to end the cycle of poverty through education and workforce development programs.
During the uncertainties of a pandemic world, education and job security is in turmoil and the effects across the nation have been staggering. To be able to assist in Mission: St. Louis’ cause and their strides in paving a way to a better future for many people in St. Louis is important to me. With a community that made such a big impact in the beginning of my future, I hope to be able to help in my small way to do the same for others.
2020 Achievements
Throughout the months of 2020, we have assisted so many hand-selected charities in making a small difference in a big way. Saint Louis Closet Co. would not have been able to do this without the support and ongoing sales of the local community.
Thank you in believing in our mission so that we may aid in the missions of others. Community is everything and when we work together and help one another it can be a beautiful thing. At Saint Louis Closet Co. we hope to make our mark by being a shining example of community in the St. Louis area.
So far, we have partnered with some amazing organizations this year.

How can you make an impact in the St. Louis community?
Help us! As an active small business owner and believer that we can all do better to help one another, a little goes a long way in making a difference. If you want to help contribute to these wonderful organizations, you can head directly to their websites – or consider shopping with us when you’re in need of new organizations.
Supporting small businesses and local businesses are important, but supporting your community is just as important.
If you are a small business owner yourself, consider making it a part of your business plan to give back. Make it a process that grows as your company grows—let the public know you value them not just for their business, but also for what they bring to all of those around us.
