Does Your Human Services Agency "Start Here"?

If your nonprofit provides food, shelter, clothing, treatment, counseling, employment or legal services to those in need in the St. Louis area, is your contact information available in the Start Here St. Louis Area Resource Directory -- either in the new print version or online??

A participant in our session on Prisoner Reentry Nonprofit Partnerships (click on the January Newsletter on the ARCHs link at right.) sent me a copy of this helpful directory. You can access it at www.startherestl.org or call 314-726-2092 to add your agency's services and contact information. (Also to learn more about what other nonprofits serve your area of mission)

More about a new nonprofit-government-business St. Louis Alliance for Reentry soon.
