START’s mission is to aid St Louis area refugees through donations, craft sales, and fundraising events. 100% of the funds we receive go to aiding local families in St Louis who are struggling to rebuild their lives.
Join us on Small Business Saturday, Nov. 30 for an amazing event featuring beautiful HANDMADE items from all over the world. Admission is FREE and everyone is welcome!
Come meet people who are different from yourself, find unique gifts that are not available online, and be a part of the St. Louis community that is building bridges and making a difference.
This is a rain or shine event that will be held inside the gymnasium at 5021 Adkins Ave, St. Louis, MO 63116. Parking is free.
You are invited to a Welcome Neighbor STL Supper Club to support refugee families recently settled in St. Louis. Enjoy food, conversation, and catching up with friends – old and new. From cultural exchange to just plain fun, look forward to a great evening.
These meals present an opportunity for immigrant families to share knowledge and skills unique to them. It is also an opportunity for us to get a glimpse into their culture. These fundraising efforts can set them on a path of greater independence and confidence in their lives here in the USA.
When you attend a Welcome Neighbor STL Supper Club, your meal will be prepared by immigrant neighbors who will share their culture and cooking skills by providing a table full of traditional food from their country of origin. We are proud to share that 100% of all proceeds from Welcome Neighbor STL supper club events go directly to the refugee cooks who prepare the food for each event.
Suggested donation: $30 per person.
The event will be held on Friday, October 18, 2019 from 6pm-8pm at St. John’s Episcopal Church at 3664 Arsenal Street, St. Louis, MO 63116.

In addition to aiding refugees in the St. Louis area, START also aids those living without homes. Every Sunday morning (10:00 – 11:30 am), START, along with volunteers from Street Kitchen, delivers 50+ meals and supplies to the homeless living on the streets of downtown St. Louis. The ingredients for each meal are paid for by START, and the meals themselves are prepared each morning by local refugee chefs.
