Mission

Our Mission: Circle of Concern feeds the hungry and provides assistance to low-income families living in west St. Louis County and areas of Jefferson County, MO. Since 1967, Circle of Concern has served those in need with our food pantry, financial assistance, scholarships and other programs. In the pantry, we are committed to providing both canned/boxed nonperishable food and fresh fruits and vegetables, milk, eggs, cheese, meat, and more. Financial assistance meets critical needs to avert an eviction or to keep the utilities on. Scholarships help young people go to college and help adult clients gets critical job training and certifications; in both cases, they are a step toward breaking the cycle of poverty. Our Holiday Program and Thanksgiving Baskets ease expenses during that joyful time of year. With these programs - and more - Circle is committed to helping our neighbors in need so they can direct their own resources toward rebuilding their financial foundations.
