UNLEASHING POTENTIAL

"City Wide has been a wonderful partner for Unleashing Potential. They provided beverages and space for several of our events for staff and donors. They had a volunteer day, a book drive and even built a bookcase at our childcare facility Caroline Mission. Their donation allowed us to continue serving our children and families while bringing our message to a larger audience.  By partnering with a company committed to giving back we are much more connected to the St. Louis Community.” 

Darlene Sowell President/ CEO


MISSION: ST. LOUIS 

“Partnering with City Wide allowed us to shine a spotlight on the talent and beauty in North St. Louis. The campaign was beyond a donation, it was an immersion into the 4 Hands family. The relationship has continued and evolved into transitional employment opportunities for our graduates, supporting people in our city as they're looking to gain work experience. 4 Hands is an example of how a St. Louis business can support and benefit from the work Mission: St. Louis does. Their partnership is a vote of confidence for our vision and the people we serve.”

Josh Wilson President/Executive Director
