Restore St. Louis
Donation protected
On the evening of June 1, 2020, the streets of St. Louis were vandalized and destroyed by those who disregard our city.
Nearly every area of our beloved city was in the pathway of last night’s destruction.
The people who caused this widespread damage were after anarchy and not justice. They were out there for themselves, hellbent on causing damage and destruction.
We need to come together and show that we are one St. Louis.
As one St. Louis, we are collecting funds to help small businesses that were damaged during the destruction of the events of June 1. Not only were these businesses already struggling from the Coronavirus pandemic, but now they are cleaning up from last night's events.
Please contribute any amount to help Restore St. Louis.
