Fuel Our Mission with a Donation Drive

Hosting an in-kind donation drive is a powerful and immediate way to support LifeWise StL, especially during moments when resources are stretched thin. Every drive brings us closer to meeting the pressing needs of our participants. Your commitment can make a world of difference.

If you’re considering this impactful initiative, please contact Jennifer Weston, Director of Communications & Administrative Support, at
jweston@lifewisestl.org or 314-627-1225.

In-kind donations can be deducted from your taxes at fair market value. For guidelines on determining fair market value, please read Publication 561 (Rev. April 2007) from the Internal Revenue Service. Please note that LifeWise StL will not assign a cash value to donated items as that is the responsibility of the donor.
