Thank you to our board members and volunteers who help make this work possible. Through our partnership with Community Lifeline, we’re continuing our commitment to show up and support our neighbors in meaningful ways.

We wrapped up DEDC Daily Bread with heart and purpose! During the week of Christmas, DEDC partnered with Community Lifeline East Saint Louis to provide gift cards to seniors as they were transported to their doctor’s appointments, meeting a need right where it mattered most. Thank you to our partners and supporters for helping us serve our seniors with care and compassion. Here are a few photos.
