Over the past 33 years, Old North St. Louis Restoration Group has relied on the dedication and hard work of community residents and the financial support of members and friends of the neighborhood to carry out a comprehensive, neighborhood-wide revitalization strategy.  This approach has succeeded in bringing about a dramatic transformation. By preserving the historic and architectural integrity of the neighborhood, cultivating community gardens to beautify the community and to grow food for the North City Farmers' Market, establishing neighborhood safety initiatives to reduce the already low crime rate, and by bringing neighbors together to foster strong and supportive relationships, ONSLRG is succeeding in building a community that retains current residents, while attracting new renters, homebuyers, and businesses.  TO CONTINUE THIS MOMENTUM, though, WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT!  Make a contribution to ONSLRG on Give STL Day, by clicking HERE. 

Feel free to give any time of the day starting at 12:01 a.m. all the way up until midnight.

In addition to making all of the people above happy, your contribution to Old North St. Louis Restoration Group will make you eligible to win a prize for yourself!  Every donor will be entered into a drawing to win Cardinals tickets, with a drawing every hour - and each hour a donor will be selected to designate a non-profit of their choice to receive a bonus $500 contribution.  If you donate during the Power Hours of 8 a.m., 10 a.m., noon, 2 p.m., 5 p.m. and 8 p.m., your donation will be matched by a sponsoring corporation.

For more information about prizes, for further details on how the day works, or to check the leader-board throughout the day, visit GiveSTLDay.org.  Enter early and enter often by making your contribution to ONSLRG  - just click HERE - and help spread the word!
