5O1 Connect Launches ‘Day of Service’ St. Louis Initiative

501 Connect, Inc. announces the launch of 'Day of Service' St. Louis, an initiative to connect busy professionals, full-time students, employee groups, and parents wanting to bring volunteerism into family life with short-duration volunteer opportunities in the greater St. Louis area.

The 'Day of Service' St. Louis website provides a central location for community members to find one-day (done-in-a-day), one-weekend or one-week ‘Day of Service’ events hosted by local nonprofit organizations. These events provide meaningful service opportunities for every type of civic-minded person or group. Whether planting a community garden, running a 5k, collecting shoes and clothing, painting a room, or preparing a warm meal, to those served by St. Louis area nonprofit organizations, these events make all the difference in the world.
