The Own Home Program recently received a grant for $450,000 to use for utility assistance. This is the most we have ever received from this funder in an initial award, and a testament to the great work that our Own Home staff do every day. This kind of windfall is also a blessing to our clients, as it means that we'll be able to serve hundreds of individuals, many of whom would not normally fit within program guidelines.

Special thanks to James Pence and Chad Wick, owners of Bar: PM who planned and hosted a fundraiser to benefit DOORWAYS as a part of the bar's one-year anniversary. The event also included a gift drive which provided our residents with many of the everyday items they so badly needed. Thank you James and Chad!

As you 'un-deck' your halls and realize you have too much or something that no longer matches the overall theme of your holiday decorating, please consider donating it to DOORWAYS. Cooper House is seeking donations for all holidays - from Valentines Day to the Fourth of July and everything in between! Your knick-knack is our treasure!  (We are good in the Christmas tree department, however!) 

For questions or to schedule a donation drop-off please contact Marybeth at 314-328-2725 or email [email protected].
