The Little Resource Center is a grassroots non-profit supporting families since 2019. Louis and Southern Illinois Area. Period.

The Little Resource Center (TLRC) is a growing grassroots non-profit serving the St. We provide diapers, formula, and baby gear to families in need. We also offer resources and referral assistance to health, support, and social services. TLRC is run entirely on donations from the communities we serve and will never charge for our services. We are proudly unaffiliated with any religious or political organizations – we’re local families working to empower local families. TLRC was founded in 2019 as a service of Trinity Doula Services and has grown into a multistate collaborative organization in response to the growing needs of area families.

🚨🍼 SOS! URGENT FORMULA NEED!

Our Little Resource Center community, we need your help! 💜

We've received a request from a local family who is urgently in need of Similac Total Comfort infant formula (the PURPLE can)!

💜 DO YOU HAVE AN EXTRA CAN AT HOME?

This particular formula is commonly found in the Similac sample boxes that expecting and new parents receive!

If you've received one of these boxes and aren't using the formula, that extra can sitting in your pantry could make a HUGE difference for this family!

🍼 HOW YOU CAN HELP:

1️⃣ Donate Formula!

We're specifically looking for Similac Total Comfort (purple can). All cans must be unopened, sealed, and within their expiration date.

📍 DROP-OFF LOCATION:

2182 Tenbrook Road
Arnold, MO 63010

Donations can be dropped off ANY day, ANY time! Simply place your cans in our locked parcel box located on our front porch. No need to coordinate a drop-off!

2️⃣ Make a Monetary Donation! 💵

We're also looking into purchasing formula directly from the store to get this family what they need as quickly as possible!

Even $5 or $10 helps us get closer to ensuring this baby has the formula they need.

💜 Venmo:

💚 Cash App: $littleresourcecenter

Please note "Formula SOS" with your donation so we can direct those funds toward this urgent request.

3️⃣ SHARE THIS POST! 📣

Even if you can't donate, sharing this post could help us reach someone who has exactly what this family needs!

❤️ Sometimes what one family desperately needs is sitting unused in another family's pantry.

Our mission has always been simple: neighbors helping neighbors, without judgment, without barriers, and without families having to struggle alone.

Thank you for continuing to show up for the families who depend on The Little Resource Center. Every single act of kindness makes a difference. 💜

🧚‍♀️💜 A HUGE thank you to our wonderful diaper fairies! 💜🧚‍♀️

We’ve received some amazing diaper donations this week, and we are so incredibly grateful to everyone who continues to help keep The Little Resource Center stocked for local families.

I’ll be spending this afternoon bagging everything up, which means by tomorrow we should have diapers available in EVERY size from Preemie through Size 7! 🎉

A quick reminder: Families may take up to 2 bags of diapers per household when visiting the resource center.

If you’re in a situation where you need more than that, please reach out to us directly. We understand that circumstances are different for every family, and we’ll always try to accommodate additional needs when our inventory allows. 💜

🥫 We could also really use pantry donations!

Our shelf-stable food items have been moving out almost as quickly as they come in. Things like pasta and sauce, cereal, oatmeal, peanut butter, canned meats, canned fruits and vegetables, soups, boxed meals, rice, beans, snacks, and other easy-to-prepare foods are always helpful.

Every pack of diapers and every bag of groceries donated goes right back out into our community.

Thank you to everyone who donates, shares our posts, hosts drives, or simply tells another family about us. You’re helping us keep this little resource center going. 💜

A little personal update from me, and an explanation for why you may have noticed fewer posts and updates from The Little Resource Center lately. 💜

I've been navigating some health issues that have left me dealing with pretty extreme fatigue. Some days, just keeping up with everything that absolutely has to be done takes most of what I have to give.

Unfortunately, social media updates have been one of the things that have fallen behind.

But I want our community to know something important:

Even when you don't see a post from me, the grab-n-go cabinet and Dignity Drawer are still being filled every day.

Taking care of this community is incredibly important to me. Families don't stop needing diapers, formula, food, period products, and basic necessities because I'm having a rough health day. So I will continue doing everything I can to keep these resources available—even on the days when I don't have the energy left to take pictures and post an update afterward.

If you'd like to help right now, there are a couple of SMALL things that would make a HUGE difference for me:

💜 Diaper donations: If possible, please separate/bag diapers into gallon-size Ziploc bags before dropping them off. Having them already portioned and ready for the cabinet saves me a surprising amount of time and energy.

💜 Formula donations: Please mark through the barcode and write the expiration date clearly on the can before dropping it off. This makes it much easier for me to quickly check dates and get formula into the cabinet.

Those little bits of prep may only take you a few minutes, but right now they genuinely help conserve some of my very limited energy.

And please don't mistake fewer Facebook updates for less activity at TLRC. ❤️ We're still here. The resources are still going out. Families are still being served. I'm just having to prioritize where my energy goes right now—and making sure people have what they need will always come before making sure Facebook knows I did it.

Thank you to everyone who donates, shares our posts, helps prepare items, checks on the cabinets, or simply continues supporting what we're doing.

It truly takes a community to care for a community. 💜
