Annual Dinner & Awards Ceremony

On April 3, DOORWAYS held its Annual Dinner, generously hosted by SSM St. Mary's Hospital and sponsored by US Bank Private Wealth Management. The Michael Edlin Award, DOORWAYS' highest honor, was presented to Carole Hunt. The law firm Sandberg, Phoenix and von Gontard received the Generosity Award, and the Volunteer Award was presented to Rev. Jeff Moore. These long-time supporters were recognized for their generosity, not only of their resources, but also their time, expertise and leadership. Congratulations and thank you to all!

As spring days are slowly replacing days of winter, we wish to thank the Boeing Employee Community Fund for providing funding to help us provide emergency housing and subsidies over the winter months. The 2017/2018 winter brought increased requests for housing assistance from individuals and families. Generous funders, such as the Boeing Employee Community Fund, allow DOORWAYS to respond to these needs. Thank you from DOORWAYS!

Funding from the 2018 Annual Catholic Appeal (ACA)
Every year, the Archdiocese of St. Louis undertakes its annual appeal to raise funds to continue providing many services to the community. Their 2018 goal is $14.2 million. ACA has regularly supported DOORWAYS through this campaign. This past weekend, two DOORWAYS leaders presented information about the ACA and DOORWAYS at local churches. Opal Jones, president and CEO, spoke at Our Lady of the Pillar on Lindbergh, while Jim Timmerberg, director of development, visited St. David's Church in Arnold.

Answer: All the time, if you designate your DOORWAYS donation as a tribute to a loved one!
You may make a monetary gift in
HONOR of someone's birthday, anniversary, new job, new baby...the list is endless. You may also provide a monetary gift as a

GROW THE TRIBUTE GARDEN, you may select from three brick sizes: $100, $250, or $500.
