Pat and Libby White Client Resource Center Powered by Ameren |
|
The Pat and Libby White Client Resource Center Powered by Ameren will be dedicated on Wednesday, September 1, from 530-7pm on the 3rd floor of Gateway Homeless Services. Tom Voss, CEO of Ameren, Rich Liekweg, CEO of Barnes Jewish Hospital, and Steve Lipstein, CEO of BJC will join the leadership of Gateway to congratulate the White's for their outstanding work at Gateway and to enjoy the room recently "made over" by wonderful volunteers at Ameren.
This event celebrates the work of two important Gateway partners. Ameren has helped Gateway both financially and also with the support of hundreds of volunteers over the last five years. Gateway deeply appreciates the efforts of Ameren to create an "empowering environment" for our clients as they move to new housing. Barnes Jewish Hospital and Washington University School of Medicine Department of Internal Medicine provides Gateway clients with health literacy services and works to strengthen the ability of clients to access health care in our community. Residents who come to Gateway have the opportunity of growing in their knowledge of community-based work while providing needed services to people who face difficult healthcare challenges.
In addition, event attendees will be able to see weatherization improvements to the building made possible by the Department of Natural Resources of the State of Missouri through programming provided by the Urban League. |

Children from the 5th Ward community were able to cast a "spell" at the 5th Ward Spelling Bee sponsored by Gateway Homeless Services at the DeSoto Park (20th and Carr) on August 14 from 11am to 3pm. The competition provided young people with a chance to demonstrate their spelling skills and to compete for prizes which included gift cards and backpacks! Special thanks to Gateway staff who worked hard to make the spelling bee a great success! |

Over the past few years, Gateway has promoted holiday giving called "Kids Caring for Kids" emphasizing the work of young people across our community who sponsor special holiday giving programs to benefit homeless families, women and children. Various groups in schools, churches, and community organizations organize food, cash, hygiene item, and school supplies drives that help Gateway better serve homeless people and move them into safe, secure housing.
Your group can help Gateway Homeless Services staff and volunteers restock its warehouse at 3965 Park Avenue and care for those in need during the holdiay time. Holiday programming at the shelter will also provide toys and other gifts to families in our shelter.
Gateway extends its thanks to the many organizations and groups sponsoring and developingf the holiday campaign and we look forward to a partnership with many throughout our community as we seek to make this holiday season a special one for those in need.
In November of each year, the Holiday Giving Campaign officially kick-offs with the Homeless Awareness Month educational opportunities.
To be a part of this holiday sharing effort, please call, email or write Gateway Homeless Services: (314-231-1515, info
