Mission

Founded in 1932, the mission of Variety the Children's Charity of St. Louis is to serve children with physical and mental disabilities in the Greater St. Louis region whose needs would not be met were it not for Variety's sustained commitment. Variety serves these children each time they need assistance, from infancy to the age of 21, providing durable medical equipment, developmental programs and resources. Variety also allocates funds to 85 partner agencies - children's charities in the Greater St. Louis region that serve children with physical and mental disabilities. Variety focuses on four core areas to help our kids become healthy and independent: gifting medical equipment for mobility & independence, creating unique recreational & therapeutic programs, funding 85 strong partner programs, and raising funds & awareness in St. Louis.
