Through community engagement, we can unite to make a difference in the St. Louis Region. This year, we’re proud to offer volunteer opportunities to give back to the community by partnering The United Way of Greater St. Louis.

Thank you to those employees who joined us at our October Thrive Pop-Up events to assemble “Smile Kits”. Together, we built 400 dental hygiene bags that were delivered to children in need in the St. Louis region through LifeWise StL. Each bag contained a toothbrush, toothpaste, dental floss and a brushing timer as well as a coloring book and note of encouragement our employees wrote.
Visit United Way's Volunteer Center website to find step-by-step guides to complete meaningful volunteer projects on your schedule. You or your team will purchase the supplies, complete the project, and drop off the completed project to an agency of your choosing.
