Saint Louis Crisis Nursery Receives $4,800 Grant from Bayer Fund

The Saint Louis Crisis Nursery announced today it received a grant for $44,800 from Bayer Fund, which will be used for the Crisis Nursery’s Food and Nutrition Program.

DiAnne Mueller, CEO of the Crisis Nursery, explained, “With the help of this generous Bayer Fund grant, we will be able to assist many families and children who are experiencing food insecurity now more than ever.”

The Bayer Food and Nutrition Program will provide 18,000 meals for more than 2,000 at five Crisis Nurseries throughout the greater St. Louis Region. This grant will additionally allow the Crisis Nursery Family Empowerment Centers to supply 2,700 emergency food bags to low-income, food-insecure families who have been hit hard by the 18-month global pandemic.

“Throughout the years, the grants given through Bayer Fund have helped strengthen our communities across the United States,” said Al Mitchell, President of Bayer Fund. “We’re proud to be able to provide support to develop programs that help combat challenges such as food insecurity, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) education and support services to patients and families managing an illness or disease.”

In 2020, Bayer Fund awarded more than $17 million to over 3,400 charitable and nonprofit organizations to help address essential needs in food and nutrition, STEM education, and community development. Over the last five years, nonprofit organizations across the U.S. have received more than $80 million.
