As we enter this important season of giving, we are especially grateful to our generous donors, volunteers, and staff, who have supported Join Hands ESL’s growth for 33 years!

As Sheila Burton passes our leadership to Ja’Shira Savannah, a woman, who literally grew up in our programs, we reflect on the value and significance of our mission/s impact within the East St. Louis community. Thank you for supporting Join Hands ESL on Giving Tuesday, and please rally around Shira, as she assumes her new role from our dedicated founder and iconic leader.
