Extreme Faith started in the winter of 2000 by a group of high school students and their church youth leader. They started by volunteering for a local organization who provided some supplies and food for homeless who were not able to get into shelters in the St. Louis area. The group would drive the streets looking for people in need. This was a good start for the young boys who felt called to serve the homeless, but the focus of this organization was not on relationships and getting to know the people as individuals. In fact many times the boys would be forced to drop food and honk the horn as they drove away letting the people know food was at the corner. The boys considered themselves lucky if they got to sit down and talk to 2 or 3 people a night. Over time it became clear the vision God gave these youth was much more relationship based than the organization they were working with. As time went on and the winter outreach phased out for the year, the boys decided to take what they had learned and continue serving those in need. They would pool their money to buy sandwiches off the dollar menu at a local fast food restaurant and some supplies from the dollar store. They pushed forward with the vision of being a friend to someone in need. They did away with the time line and set schedules and focused on being friends with who ever needed to talk. Many times spending hours talking to one or two people who just needed someone to listen. A common theme the boys discovered as they continued with the ministry was that many people needed a friend more than food or supplies. It is this vision carried by 3 boys, a youth leader, and a pick up truck that has grown to bless, feed, and clothe tens of thousands, sometimes hundreds in a night, networking several local churches and organizations while still fighting to maintain that personal relationship with every person they serve.
The Southampton Neighborhood (SoHa) is a peaceful, charming 1-square mile neighborhood of tree-lined streets featuring a variety of housing styles, friendly plant-filled porches, art glass and hardwood floors. A vibrant business district along Macklind Avenue provides an attractive “Main Street” commercial component to compliment the residential character of the area. Within walking distance are cafés, delis, restaurants, art studio and gallery, live theatre, banks, grocery stores, florists, dry cleaners, hair salons, fitness and wellness centers, professional offices, auto repair, parks, a library and churches. Southampton was voted the #1 Place to Live in the St. Louis Metro Area by the Riverfront Times editorial staff in 2009 and is rated as one of the top residential choices for families in the 25-35 age bracket according to the United States Census. Another great advantage to Southampton living is low crime, watchful and friendly neighbors, and convenience to public transportation, St. Louis' world-class cultural institutions and Forest Park.

We see the homeless, and we've got their backs. BACK@YOU was created to help open people’s eyes to those that so many of us walk blindly by each day. The homeless are not invisible, and we should not act as if they don’t exist. We all deserve to be treated with dignity and kindness. None of us is less of a person for not having a home. With those principles as our guide, we simply fill backpacks with some essential supplies and basic comforts to share with our homeless neighbors, and our volunteers give these backpacks when the cold weather approaches. We make each of our backpacks to show its recipient that someone cares. They may be small gestures in the grand scheme of things, but they are filled with love. We hope you’ll support us in spreading a little kindness. We have a feeling it will come right back at you.
