Post Dispatch 100 Neediest:
Grace Hill
is an active member of the St. Louis community and collaborates with
many agencies in the region. One of its major collaborations is with:
St.
Louis Post-Dispatch/United Way’s 100 Neediest Cases Program.
In 2002 over $300,000 was distributed to over
2,000 neighbors.
Weatherization:
However, Grace Hill’s direct services do
not
stop with United Way. The
neighbors as leaders collaborate with volunteers to provide an
invaluable resource through its Weatherization program. In 2002, the
homes of 34 seniors, 9 single parents and 14 disabled neighbors, for a
total of 57 homes were weatherized for the winter.
VITA:
Starting
in 2002, Grace Hill became a VITA site to provide free tax filing
services for low-income neighbors. A Grace Hill Board Member and 2
neighbors were trained to process the claims. In its first year, 187
households had their taxes electronically filed through this service
with total returns of almost $350,000.
