We began giving back during our first year of collection. With a donation of $960.64 we granted a child's wish through the Make-a-Wish foundation in the greater St. Louis area.

After the earthquake in Haiti, we wanted to reach out and help. Patti's School in Haiti suffered damage as a result of the natural disaster. We collected and sent $434.05 to help make needed repairs to the facility so the building would be safe to continue classes.

During the summer of 2010 one of our North Middle School families experienced a total loss of their home and belongings after a fire. A donation was made to the family to assist with immediate needs.
