The St. Louis Delta Foundation and partners will move its spring community service work to five St. Louis area streets during its “Trunks UP Extravaganza” from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, April 27, 2024.
The Delta Foundation is working with the St. Louis Alumnae (SLA), Alpha Omega City-Wide Chapter, East St. Louis Alumnae, the St. Louis Metropolitan Alumnae chapters of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., local retailers and community organizations for the community service event like October’s Trunk or Treat.
Cars decorated with their “trunks up,” will line the streets to give away personal care hygiene products and non-perishable food items at:
East St. Louis-St. Vincent DePaul, 3718 State St., East St. Louis, IL 62203
Berkeley Fire Station 8404 Airport Road, St. Louis, MO 63134
Patrick Henry Elementary School 1220 N. 10th Street, St Louis, MO 63106
New Spring Church 10229 Lewis and Clark Blvd., St. Louis, MO 63136
St. Philip’s Lutheran Church, 2424 Annie Malone Dr., St. Louis, MO 63113
“This is our third year and one of our signature community events,” said Dawn Gipson, St. Louis Delta Foundation chair.
“Last year, with the help of the Black Nurses Association, we served over 800 unhoused and/or underserved residents across six locations. With the help of more community partners and volunteers this year, we expect to serve close to 1,500.”
Items that will be in the trunks include soap, deodorant, toothpaste, laundry detergent, and hand sanitizer, as well as light healthy snacks.
To donate personal hygiene products and non-perishable food items, please call (314) 274-1368 for a wish list of desired items.
