Last month L'Arche St. Louis was excited to host and participate in the Sacred Stories Project Listening Tour. During this weekend stop from the Everable team, Community Members were interviewed about spirituality at L'Arche as a part of the Sacred Stories project with L'Arche USA.

L'Arche St. Louis' involvement in this important project was featured in a recent article from the St. Louis Review - Check it out!

Today, May 7th is Give STL Day! A world where everyone belongs is not just an ideal or unattainable vision - here at L'Arche we live out this mission every day. The people who encounter the beautiful reality of an inclusive community at L'Arche are transformed once they realize that people with disabilities are in many ways just like them: human beings who are worthy of giving and receiving love. If you believe in this reality, would you consider partnering with us today by 1) making a donation today to L'Arche on Give STL Day and 2) sharing this post with a friend and telling them why you support L'Arche!

Saint Louis is recognized as one of the most generous cities in the United States when it comes to charitable giving. Give STL Day, hosted by the St. Louis Community Foundation, is a day to celebrate and support all the nonprofits in our wonderful city. We believe that L'Arche St. Louis' contribution to our local community is invaluable. Our Core Members remind us of a simple truth: that despite our limitations and vulnerabilities, we are still worthy of love and belonging. But we need your help to continue doing our good work! Give STL Day is May 7th but early giving is open now! Please visit 🔗www.givestlday.org/organization/larchestlouis and donate today!
