The St. Patrick Center – A Continued Partnership
Posted on August 7, 2024
From Homelessness to Hope
For nearly four decades, the St. Patrick Center serves both the city and county of St. Louis, MO. Their mission is to transform lives by creating a community where everyone has access to sustainable housing, employment, and healthcare.
Each year, they help around 4,000 people. They work collaboratively with individuals, businesses, and other service providers to solve homelessness in the St. Louis area.
Back in February 2024 during a remarkably cold snap, our partners at St. Patrick Center reached out with an urgent request.
They were running super low on winter gear and supplies, including thick socks, hats, and warm gloves.
Larson Warriors mobilized quickly to create a wish list on Amazon. We also held a special fundraiser to donate money through our payroll checks, which was then matched by the Larson Financial Foundation.
In total, we quickly raised a total of $1,350 to donate to them.
Additionally, in August and October 2023, two of our Warriors gave presentations on understanding credit scores at the St. Patrick Center. These presentations helped individuals who are integrating back into the workforce after dealing with potential addiction, abuse, and homelessness. Our Warriors continued service and impact is helping to transform lives.
The St. Patrick Center brings healing, help, and hope to those in need. Guided by a mission of compassionate care, their vision is to be a leader in community renewal. Their core values—dignity, hospitality, service, excellence, compassion, and joy—drive their work. Fostering connections to create meaningful support across St. Louis, they serve each person with love, respect, and a commitment to transformative care.
These values closely align with Larson’s mission of “Empowering All to Flourish.” Like the St. Patrick Center, Larson is committed to creating positive change in the community by supporting those in need. Our organizations share a common goal of uplifting individuals and fostering an environment where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
As opportunities arise, Larson will continue to work with the St. Patrick Center to support the good work they do. Learn more about what they do and how you can help.
