The Scottish Rite Cathedral, at 3627 Lindell Boulevard in St. Louis, Missouri, is a historic, significant building that was designed by architect William B. Ittner. It was completed in 1924. "A fine example of neo Classic style, the building has a frontage of 235 feet and is approached by a broad flight of steps. Its auditorium, which seats 3000 persons, is notable because no posts obstruct the view. Features are an extremely wide proscenium and a fine organ. The granite and limestone structure was erected at a cost of $2,000,000."

The Ancient & Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry is, above all else, an educational institution. We seek not to teach men the truth but, instead, a way to the truth. Each must find the truth for himself. The Degrees of the Scottish Rite do not teach specific lessons. Rather, they give parallel examples from earlier cultures, raise questions, and challenge us to think. Freemasonry is a journey of self-discovery and self-development. We seek only to be a guide, teaching the common ground of various philosophical and religious approaches to belief, in order that men might be more united in their standards of right and wrong and in their understanding of the reality of God.

Employment Connection was founded in 1977 after a study by the Young Lawyers Division of the Bar Association of Metropolitan Saint Louis (BAMSL) discovered that employed ex-offenders were 66% less likely to return to incarceration.

In 1980, Employment Connection became a full United Way member agency and expanded its programs beyond ex-offenders to serve U.S. veterans, homeless individuals and families, individuals with behavioral health disorders, and at-risk youth. Today Employment Connection assists over 1,500 individuals who have barriers to self-sufficiency every year.

The Forget Me Nots are a group of Stray Rescue's adoptable dogs who are still looking for their forever homes. These guys are often overlooked by most adopters for various reasons: they might need to be the only 4-legged companion who has your affection, or they might need to meet you a couple of times to be sure they can trust you - but once they do, you'll be their best friend for life! Due to the various quirks these dogs might have, we offer a lifetime of post-adoptive support, including free training (even in-home).

In 1987, HTA of St. Louis was founded to provide emotional, educational, and financial support to pre and post heart transplant patients and their families. In March of 1998, the Heart Transplant Association of St. Louis was incorporated and became a 501 c (3) non-profit organization. We are empowered to help all heart transplant patients in our area. Our purpose is to support pre and post heart transplant patients. Support and encouragement come through support meetings, social events and visitations with patients. We meet regularly to provide information on transplantation, medications, insurance, legal and governmental information. We have guest speakers, we work on public awareness projects in relation to organ donations, and we keep our members informed of all and any news related to patients and heart donation. We provide financial assistance to members in need through the Barnes-Jewish social work office. Annually we have fundraisers to provide funds for those who might need financial assistance. The assistance fund is not an entitlement program. Therefore, no guarantees are made as to whether any request can be granted. Since the fund is provided with charitable donations, availability of funds, the number of requests received, and other factors must be considered in providing assistance. It is however, the goal of the Heart Transplant Association of St. Louis to be of benefit to fellow transplant patients in need. We encourage visitation with those that are waiting for transplantation and we have a team of mentors who can give more in-depth encouragement and support.
