Arch Gives Back
 

 In 2017, we launched our community service program, ARCH GIVES BACK. Each of the first few years, we identified a different non-profit to help each quarter. In 2020, we decided to focus on our annual holiday season toy drive for the various fine children's hospitals in our area. Additionally, we continue to find various ways to help non-profits - focusing primarily on our own non-profit customers.

2022 TOY DRIVE - Shriners Children's Hospital
For more than 90 years Shriners Hospitals for Children — St. Louis has been bringing love to the rescue of more than 110,000 children with orthopaedic conditions and bone diseases. Our world-renowned pediatric specialty care, innovative research, and outstanding teaching programs for medical professionals results in our co-listing by US News and World Report as one of America’s top pediatric orthopaedic hospitals, with St. Louis Children’s Hospital and Washington University School of Medicine. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, Shriners Hospitals for Children — St. Louis relies on the generosity of donors to continue improving the lives of children.

2nd Quarter 2018  Stray Rescue of St. Louis
 
The mission of Stray Rescue of St. Louis is to lead the way toward making St. Louis a compassionate city where every companion animal knows health, comfort, and affection, and no stray is euthanized merely because he or she has been abandoned, abused, or neglected. Stray Rescue is out on the streets daily taking a progressive, proactive approach to establishing a permanent resolution to the stray companion animal problem through dedicated rescue efforts, sheltering, community outreach programs, education, collaborations and the encouragement of responsible pet guardianship. Stray Rescue of St. Louis is the largest no-kill organization in the city of St. Louis and surrounding area.
 
Virtually all of the pets we save have been abused and neglected. They've been dumped on highways or remote country roads. Abandoned in public parks, empty houses and dark alleys. Rescued from the torment of being bait dogs or prize fighters in dog fighting rings.  We even save dogs left chained behind buildings and locked in houses after their owners had moved away. 
 
 
 
 
We delivered a TRUCK LOAD of donated items to Stray Rescue on July 5, 2018!
THANK YOU to everyone who participated!
