One of our treasured church partners is St. Martin's Episcopal Church, Ellisville, Mo.. The church has an amazing garden with 32 raised beds and an adjacent field for in-ground planting. They raise 19 varieties of vegetables plus sunflowers for the pollinators. This generous congregation donates their beautiful, colorful produce to Circle of Concern, providing a true bounty of fresh vegetables for our client-choice pantry. They even have an area inside the church for curing onions before they deliver them to the Circle pantry. Many thanks to lead volunteer John Lange and the dedicated garden team at St. Martin’s for their abundant generosity.

This grateful client came to us during the government shutdown when food assistance benefits stopped. He was surprised that we were able to help him on his first visit. Because of his situation, he qualified for ongoing pantry visits as a Circle client. We are thankful he came to Circle for help when he needed it and that we were able to assist him through the temporary shutdown and beyond.

One of our staff left her Pilates class at St. Louis City Fitness, when she noticed a sign with the Circle of Concern logo. An ongoing donation box is in the lobby of the Brentwood fitness studio along with a list of our most-needed pantry items. It’s amazing how the St. Louis community steps up to help Circle of Concern’s clients. Thank you .fitness
