With gratitude for to all of our generous supporters, we are able to continue our work for the community in a building that is easily accessible to everyone. We have two different programs–the family program and the housing program–where staff members and volunteers work alongside East St. Louis residents to build a better community. At East Side Heart & Home Family Center, the focus has always been, and continues to be, on people. We believe that each and every person has gifts to contribute and we hope to foster an environment where people can come together and use their individual gifts for the betterment of our city and our world. It is our hope that each of us can be empowered to become agents of social change in our lives and in our communities.
