On Wednesday, May 10, St. Louis area residents can provide safety to children and families in foster care during Give STL Day.

Since 2014, Give STL Day has provided a 24-hour day of online giving to raise money and awareness for hundreds of St. Louis-based nonprofits. Since its inception, the event has raised more than $26 million. Give STL Day is led by the St. Louis Community Foundation. In celebration of the 10th annual giving day, the Community Foundation is adding 10 hours of online giving and more opportunities for nonprofits to win prizes. Give STL Day will end at 10 a.m. on Thursday, May 11.

Donors can support Cornerstones of Care by giving to our “Give Our Children Peace of Mind” campaign to provide safety items for the families we serve. Cornerstones of Care has set a goal to raise $7,500 for St. Louis area families.

“Without safety, it’s difficult for families working through trauma to thrive and grow,” said Sally Cook, Cornerstones of Care’s Director of Development. “By supporting Give STL Day, donors can relieve stress, improve access, and give these families peace of mind.”

Donations will help purchase safety items such as:

• Cribs
• Gas cards to provide transportation to medical and other important appointments
• Car seats
• Pack ‘n Play sets.

All funds raised will stay within the metropolitan St. Louis area to support local families. To donate, look for Cornerstones of Care on the Give STL Day page or donate via the link below.
