Circle of Concern
Serving four west St. Louis County school districts as well as areas of Jefferson County, Circle of Concern provides wholesome foods and a host of other services to more than 2,000 individuals monthly as their needs continue to grow.
Circle’s tagline is, “Feeding families is just the beginning.” They know that when a family is struggling to put food on the table, there are likely other needs as well. So they offer wraparound support for eligible households: wholesome foods, emergency rent and utility assistance, counseling, career mentorship, scholarships, kid programs and more! These programs work together to take a little off clients’ financial plates, and help them to get back on their feet. Along with a caring community of volunteers, donors and community partners, they help families move from crisis and uncertainty to stability.

PROMO
Missouri’s statewide LGBTQ+ public policy and advocacy organization was formed in 1986 in response to all of the legal and political attacks on queer persons in Missouri and throughout the country. Unfortunately, with an increase in proposed and enacted anti-LGBTQ+ legislation today, the need for organizations like PROMO continue to be needed. Their four focus areas are health and wellness; transgender justice; youth and education; and older LGBTQ+ adults. PUCC has been a satellite location for some of their volunteer trainings and will continue to be in 2026.

The Christmas Fund
The Christmas Fund has been caring for active and retired clergy and lay employees of the United Church of Christ for over 100 years, providing emergency grants, supplementation of small annuities and health premiums, and Christmas “Thank You” gift checks each December to our lower-income retirees. Your care and compassion will be especially appreciated by those servants of the church who are facing a time of need. Thank you!
