Part of our 4^th quarter initiative to become everyday heroes is to give back to our community.

Our Community Service team recently organized an outerwear clothing drive for the St. Patrick’s Center located in downtown St. Louis.  The collection ran from November 16^th through December 1^st. We placed barrels at our various Woodard locations – The Customer Response Center, Rug Care Center, the Water Warehouse and the Content Care Center, and encouraged all employees to purge their unused warm outer garments to help with this drive.

We gathered a total of 11 boxes full of items such as coats, hats, scarves, and gloves to donate to the St. Patrick’s Center on December 3^rd.

The St. Patrick’s Center is one of Missouri’s largest providers of housing, employment, and health opportunities for people who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. They offer nationally recognized programs that assist more than 8,000 people each year. Their mission is to help individuals and families move from homelessness to independence in dignified, cost-effective, and permanent ways. The St. Patrick’s Center’s approach transforms their clients as well as the entire community.

If you would like to donate any winter clothing items or your time, please contact the St. Patrick’s Center at:
