🙌Thank You! Because of your generosity and enthusiasm, SHED's first-ever online auction raised $820 to support our Youth Career Development Program. Those funds will help School District of University City high school students explore careers in the trades, gain hands-on work experience this summer, and build valuable skills for the future.

So whether you placed a bid, made a donation, shared the auction with a friend, or simply cheered us on, you helped turn a pair of Cardinals tickets and a few great dining experiences into meaningful opportunities for local students. For that, we are grateful.

We would also like to thank Washington University in St. Louis, Great Southern Bank, First Onsite Property Restoration, and W. Pierson Construction for generously donating our auction items. Their support and partnership played a key role in the success of this fundraiser.

As our first online auction, we weren't sure what to expect. The response, however, far exceeded our expectations, and we’re excited to build on this success in the future.

From all of us at SHED, thank you again for believing in our mission and investing in the U-City community.

🚨 This is it — SHED's first-ever online auction closes tonight at 8 pm! So far, we've raised more than $710, but several of our auction items are currently well below their retail value. That means there's still an opportunity to score a great deal and make a difference in the lives of the U-City students who benefit from SHED's Youth Career Development Program.

If you've been thinking about placing a bid, now is the time!

🔔 SHED’s First-Ever Online Auction Starts NOW!

For the first time ever, SHED is hosting an online auction — and we’re inviting you to join the fun while supporting our work here in University City. The auction runs today through Sunday, May 31, at 8 p.m., and features three exciting “night out” experiences, including:

• Two tickets to a 2026 Cardinals game with access to the exclusive Redbird Club.
• A memorable dinner out with one of two $250 gift cards to The Capital Grille.
• A $150 gift card good at any of the six Napoli-owned restaurants — perfect for an amazing Italian dinner with family or friends.

And the best part? Every bid supports SHED’s Youth Career Development program, which gives University City High School students hands-on experience in the skilled trades and exposure to career pathways they may never otherwise have access to. Through this program, students have helped build decks for neighbors, partnered with Habitat for Humanity’s ReStore, and gained real-world experience that builds confidence, skills, and opportunity for the future.

So… how much would you pay for a Cardinals game, an unforgettable dinner, and the opportunity to help a student’s future?

💛 A little overdue, but far too important not to share. Last month, SHED volunteers showed up in a big way for our Spring Work Days — and the impact was felt across the community.
Over the course of the weekend, 36 volunteers came together to serve six local homes by cleaning gutters, clearing yards and brush, and painting not one but TWO porches for a homeowner in need.

We’re especially grateful to the volunteer teams from Washington University in St. Louis, Grace United Methodist Church, Trinity Presbyterian Church, Refresh Community Church, as well as our board members, for rolling up their sleeves and making a difference.

These projects may seem simple, but they bring real relief and help homeowners maintain safe, cared-for properties. Thank you to everyone who gave their time, energy, and heart to help strengthen U-City.
