She has spent her life looking out for society's most vulnerable members, and her caring heart is apparent to everyone she meets.

The Golden Hoosier was SO much fun! The Saint Louis Crisis Nursery Young Professionals Board (YPB) hosted a "Dine Out for the Nursery" event at the fabulous Golden Hoosier, and we had the BEST time! So many of our YPB members came by for great food and drink (the burgers are to die for!), and the Golden Hoosier gave 10% of the proceeds back to the Crisis Nursery. Many thanks to YPB Chair Anna Chancellor and YPB Event Chair Kelsey McCracken for organizing the get-together, and thank you to our friends at Garcia Properties for supporting the Crisis Nursery!

As a bonus part of our "Dine Out for the Nursery" event, Crisis Nursery Advisory Board member Trish Turner held a private luncheon with the amazing folks at @First Bank! We are so grateful for the support of our incredible board members and community partners like First Bank 🥰👍😁 We could not protect so many kiddos without support like this!

During the height of the protests, the Crisis Nursery was one of the first agencies that helped people in the Canfield Green neighborhood by providing food and diapers for families who could not leave the area. The Crisis Nursery has had a strong presence in North County since 1994 when the Crisis Nursery–North opened on the grounds of Christian Hospital, but the Ferguson Community needed more. To serve families in the area who were not using our Crisis Nursery–North for emergency respite services, we opened our eighth Family Empowerment Outreach Center at St. Peter’s United Church of Christ in Ferguson in November 2016.
