What We Do

Make a difference

Our member volunteers manage a variety of programs to benefit underserved populations in the St. Louis metropolitan region.  Each program has a unique delivery model and focus. We provide everything a child needs to wear to do well in school, athletic shoes and socks, personal care items for women and children in shelters, books for aspiring readers, and items to help families through tough times when they can't find help elsewhere.

Thrivent and West County Chamber Boost Assistance League Outreach

ThriventGroup 

At a recent West County Chamber of Commerce meeting, members packed tool kits with items donated by Thrivent Financial Advisor and Chamber member Doug Vernon. The kits will be used when volunteers of the nonprofit Assistance League of St. Louis (ALSTL) assist individuals and families recovering from a crisis as they move into new living space.

 DianaHueyThriventDiana Huey, 2023-24 ALSTL Outreach program co-chair explained, “Sometimes families have lost everything in a fire or flood, while other individuals are homeless or in transitional housing because of another crisis.  When they are able to move into a space of their own, they need even the most basic items.   That’s why, in addition to providing larger items like beds and bedding, we also provide cleaning supplies, paper products and simple tools routinely found in most households, so that families are equipped to assemble, repair or maintain items in their homes.”

After the packing session, 96 tool kits containing a pack of four screwdrivers, a tape measure, a roll of duct tape and a message of encouragement were delivered to the Assistance League office in Ellisville.

Assistance League of St. Louis president Sandy Thal added, “We are grateful to Thrivent and West County Chamber members for their generous gifts of tools and time to support our efforts to positively impact the lives of children and adults in the St. Louis Community.”
