Featuring meal donations to local healthcare and essential workers, PPE donations to communities in need, and a virtual Fair Saint Louis celebration on July 4th
Fair Saint Louis is proud to introduce Fair Saint Louis Gives Back, an initiative to support the St. Louis community, show gratitude for our local healthcare and essential workers, and provide the region a Fourth of July celebration they can enjoy from the comforts of their own homes.
Presented by the Fair St. Louis Foundation, partners and sponsors of Fair Saint Louis, and in collaboration with the City of St. Louis, Fair Saint Louis Gives Back features four meal donation events to St. Louis essential workers, a personal protective equipment (PPE) donation event benefiting the St. Louis community, and the Fair Saint Louis @Home virtual Fourth of July celebration.
Presented by the Fair St. Louis Foundation, partners and sponsors of Fair Saint Louis, and in collaboration with the City of St. Louis, Fair Saint Louis Gives Back features four meal donation events to St. Louis essential workers, a personal protective equipment (PPE) donation event benefiting the St. Louis community, and the Fair Saint Louis @Home virtual Fourth of July celebration.
“While the current health situation has dramatically changed our summer schedules, including the cancelation of Fair Saint Louis at Gateway Arch National Park, we are eager to salute our city’s essential workers, help those in need in the local community, and celebrate St. Louis and Independence Day,” said David Estes, general chairman of Fair Saint Louis. “Although things look a little different this year, our mission holds true with Fair Saint Louis Gives Back.”
MEAL DONATIONS TO ESSENTIAL WORKERS
As a thank you to St. Louis essential workers for all they do to ensure our community is healthy and safe during this crucial time, Fair Saint Louis volunteers will work alongside longtime Fair partners to safely box and distribute free meals to local VA healthcare and essential workers, City of St. Louis essential workers, the St. Louis Fire Department and the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department over the coming weeks.
PPE DONATION EVENT
To provide those in need with protective face coverings, the Fair St. Louis Foundation worked with the City of St. Louis to identify those in need of these resources.
In early June, the Fair St. Louis Foundation will donate 20,000 3-ply face masks to the St. Louis Metropolitan Clergy Coalition to benefit churches in underserved communities in North St. Louis, South St. Louis and downtown. The coalition will distribute the face coverings to clergy, staff, and members of the congregation.
FAIR SAINT LOUIS @HOME
Just because our annual Fair Saint Louis event isn’t happening at Gateway Arch National Park this year, doesn’t mean we can’t celebrate our community and our nation’s independence! We’re bringing Fair Saint Louis to you – virtually – with Fair Saint Louis @Home on Saturday, July 4.
