Gateway 180:: Homelessness Reversed is the Third Friday of each month. Gateway180 :: Homelessness Reversed is a valuable resource for women, children and families experiencing the unimaginable burden of homelessness.

Habitat for Humanity is the 4th Friday of each month. Habitat for Humanity Saint Louis is part of a global, nonprofit housing organization operated on Christian principles that seeks to put God’s love into action by building homes, communities and hope. Habitat for Humanity was founded on the conviction that every man, woman and child should have a simple, durable place to live in dignity and safety, and that decent shelter in decent communities should be a matter of conscience and action for all. Habitat for Humanity Saint Louis is dedicated to eliminating substandard housing locally and works toward that goal with a comprehensive program in which hard-working St. Louis families invest their time into actually building and owning a home.http://www.habitatstl.org/ http://www.habitatstl.org/newsevents/specialevents/benefitevents/
