Clowder House Foundation, Inc. was founded in 1994 by Diane Hurwitz. A life-long cat lover, Diane had heard of other facilities throughout the country that offered lifetime care for cats and wondered who in St. Louis would take care of her cats if she needed it? And the idea for St. Louis’ only sanctuary for domestic felines was born. A “clowder” – a group or pack of cats – sounded like the perfect name for her facility. Diane worked tirelessly for many years securing a safe location, raising funds to build out the facility and finally putting all the wheels in motion to open the Clowder House doors. Clowder House Foundation, Inc. provides lifetime care for your cat or cats when you are no longer able to do so. We offer a tranquil setting with plenty of cat toys, furniture and sunny windows for your cat’s enjoyment. Music, human love and companionship will be a part of your cat’s everyday life. We are a no-kill, minimum-cage facility, and we make every effort to accommodate your cat’s special needs. We recognize each cat’s individuality and strive to make all our residents comfortable. Cages are used only for new residents until they become acclimated or for sick or injured cats. Clowder House also provides homes for abused, neglected and un-adoptable cats as space and funds allow. Rescued cats that can be socialized are available for adoption. Unlike most animal shelters, Clowder House is a volunteer-only organization. We take pride in the fact that all money raised and donated goes directly towards the care of our cats and upkeep of our facility.
Our Lady’s Inn is a residential maternity shelter for pregnant women who are homeless and for their dependent children. With homes in St. Louis City and St. Charles County, this past year we provided emergency shelter and long-term aftercare services for a total of 633 women and children. Without our care, the majority of these families would have remained homeless. Our goals extend beyond dealing with the immediate crisis of homelessness – we seek to help families transition out of crisis and move toward stability. However, many barriers complicate this path. Women without a high school diploma or GED, without marketable employment skills, lacking coping skills to handle behavioral health issues, recovering from addiction and/or suffering the effects of domestic violence, require intense, professional services. Homeless mothers find the help they need at Our Lady’s Inn where trained, professional staff and high-quality supportive services are designed to address specific needs.
Peter & Paul Community Services provides housing and supportive services to those who are homeless, especially those who experience mental illness or live with HIV. For over 30 years our values have stood as a testament to the thousands of volunteers, supporters and alumni from St. Louis and beyond who have come to consider PPCS a part of their community: HOPE EMPOWERMENT COMPASSION HOSPITALITY INDEPENDENCE By offering those we serve hope, empowerment, compassion, hospitality and a chance for independence, you too can help us solve homelessness for our community. Will you join us?
SouthSide’s mission is to nurture, educate and inspire children and families in a diverse and inclusive environment, promoting healthy development and a strong foundation for success. Our vision is that children develop a lifelong love of learning, flourish within a supportive family environment and contribute positively to their communities. SouthSide provides a nurturing, educational and individualized early education program for children from six weeks old to pre-kindergarten (age five). With three age groupings guided by the same philosophy and curriculum, we can provide continuous care in an accredited center from infancy to preschool graduation. Children may enter the program at any age, depending on availability. Center hours are from 7:15 a.m. to 5:45 p.m., year round (we are closed for 10 holidays per year). At SouthSide, families – however that is defined for our children – are our partners in their education, social development and healthy growth. We strongly encourage family participation in Center activities, classroom volunteering, special events and field trips. Family members are welcome to visit the Center at any time. We have four structured meetings with each family during the year: fall home visit, late fall family-teacher conference, spring home visit and late spring family-teacher conference.

Many young adults lack the life skill, education, and employment skill development necessary to successfully transition to adulthood. Without the appropriate family and community support, homelessness and poverty become common. It is our mission to empower young adults to realize their full potential and provide them with the skills and supports necessary to successfully transition to adulthood. By working collaboratively with a network of volunteers and community supporters, we ensure that our young people develop the skills they need to be emotionally and financially stable and independent.

After the deadly heat wave of 1980 and the devastating blizzard two years later, Sister of the Incarnate Word, Patricia A. Kelley founded EnergyCare to provide protection for the poor from the deadly hazards of extreme cold and heat (hypothermia and hyperthermia). Early on, Sr. Pat and volunteers concentrated on public education and referral services. However, Sr. Pat quickly realized that more needed to be done for high-risk populations such as the elderly and seriously ill. By 1986, a full time staff had been hired and more direct services, such as the delivery of heaters and air conditioners had been added. Since then, EnergyCare has continued to grow and enhance its programs and services.
