Little Angels Foundation (LAF), was founded on March 14, 2013. Our organization aims to enrich the lives of children by providing books, school supplies, shoes, clothing, nutrition, and other necessary items to children in need. We also provide tutoring and mentorship to children in need in order to improve their interest and success in education. The Foundation's mission is to make a life-changing impact on children, families, and entire communities by providing a way for children in need to be put on a level playing field with their peers. 2 out of 5 children in the city of St. Louis are living in poverty. Our aim is to improve these children’s lives by providing them with the items they may not otherwise have access to. We want to provide these children with new items. Often, children living in poverty live off of used items and hand-me-downs. We want to ensure that these children know that they are important and that they are just as deserving of attention as their peers. We hope to bring joy to these children’s lives by giving them new items that they are in need of. Our Strategy Little Angels Foundation’s (LAF) aim is to fulfill its mission through grassroots volunteering and donations. Volunteers serve as family, fundraisers, special event assistants, donors, sponsors, and in numerous other capacities. We strive to be involved in our community and we encourage questions, referrals, or any other thoughts to be shared with us via e-mail. Our Values Each and every staff member and volunteer of LAF shares the values that drive our success in helping children in need. Accountability: We take personal responsibility for using our resources efficiently, achieving measurable results, and being accountable to supporters, partners, and most of all, children. Ambition: We demand the best of ourselves and our colleagues, set high goals, and firmly commit to improving the quality of all that we do in this organization. Collaboration: We respect and value each other, thrive on our diversity, and work with partners to leverage our strength in making a difference for children. Creativity: We are open to new ideas, embrace change, and take disciplined risks to develop sustainable solutions. Integrity: We aspire to live to the highest standards of personal honesty and behavior. We never compromise our reputation and always act in the best interests of the children. As LAF continues to mature, its mission and values will remain steadfast. The Little Angels of the past, present and future will have an opportunity to share the power of LAF by providing for children’s needs.
The St. Louis County Jail is located inside the Buzz Westfall Justice Center in Clayton, Missouri at 100 South Central Avenue, about eight miles (13 km) from downtown St. Louis. The holding capacity of the facility is 1,400 male and female inmates. The St. Louis County Jail is a direct-supervision facility that detains adults and juveniles being tried as adults who are awaiting trial or serving county sentences and is the only jail in Missouri that holds an accreditation known as the ALDF from the American Correctional Association (ACA). Opened in March 1998, the center replaced both the jail in the 1949 St. Louis County Courthouse building and the Adult Correctional Building in Chesterfield, Missouri. The center was rededicated the “Buzz Westfall Justice Center” in 2004.HistorySt. Louis City and St. Louis County separated in 1876 and left the county at its current size of 524sqmi. After Clayton, Missouri was chosen as the permanent county seat, a courthouse and jail were built in December 1878. By 1945, a bond issue allowed for the construction of a new courthouse and jail in Clayton facing Forsyth Boulevard that was completed in 1949.A new state law allowed for jail facilities to be located outside of the county seat of Clayton. Because land costs in Clayton were considered prohibitive, the new Adult Correctional Institution was built in 1969 in Gumbo, a historical community which was located in present-day Chesterfield, Missouri approximately 15mi to the west.Continued jail overcrowding and deterioration of the remaining jail facilities in Chesterfield created pressure for new correctional facilities. In choosing a site for new facilities the costs and difficulties of continually transporting prisoners between jail facilities in far west County and court facilities in Clayton weighed in favor of a Clayton site for a new jail and expanded court facilities. The new Justice Center (which includes the St. Louis County Jail) opened in 1998 and is connected to the Courts Building by a secure skywalk, replacing both the jail in the 1949 Courthouse building and the Adult Correctional Building in Chesterfield. The justice center was rededicated the “Buzz Westfall Justice Center” in 2004. George “Buzz” Westfall was the St. Louis County Executive from 1990 to October 2003 when he died after developing a staph infection.
