Marketplace and its staff are dedicated in using our talents to support a variety of causes. Here are just a few of our philanthropic initiatives:
Gateway Homeless Services: Gateway Homeless Services, also known as Gateway 180 Homelessness Reversed is a 24-hour shelter for women, children and families in Missouri. We admire Gateway’s approach as they provide adult educational and support programs that empower homeless people by offering tutoring, childcare, computer literacy and other educational opportunities. This program is designed to get families into permanent homes in under 30 days...and it works.
GATEWAY HAS PLACED 341 PEOPLE INTO HOUSING IN 2010 - 84% OF PEOPLE PLACED INTO TRANSITIONAL OR PERMANENT SUPPORTIVE HOUSING WILL NEVER BECOME HOMELESS AGAIN. MarketPlace is thrilled to be working with Gateway 180 on a variety of marketing and service related projects. Please visit gateway180.org for more information or to donate to this wonderful charity.
The Chapel: A Sanctuary for the Arts, The Chapel is a converted gothic structure behind Memorial Presbyterian Church in St. Louis. It is a not-for-profit musician-centered venue, event-based gallery, and theater. Through generous supporters, The Chapel provides all services free of charge to artists and musicians. MarketPlace donated its time and resources to build The Chapel website. Please visit chapel-venue.org for more information about this great St. Louis City ministry.
Susan B. Komen 3Day for the Cure: Thousands of women and men donate their time, energy, and money to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure and the National Philanthropic Trust Breast Caner Fund. Every advancement in breast cancer research, treatment, education and prevention in the last 25 years has been touched by a Komen for the Cure grant. MarketPlace donates annually to support Ms. Jacki French and her team of walkers (Nearly B to Triple Ds) for the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the cure.
