Better Family Life mobilizes neighbors to uplift communities hit hard by tornadoes in St. Louis.
When disaster strikes, it is unity that lifts us from tragedy to hope. Better Family Life (BFL) invites you to be a vital part of that unity through our Unity Begins Within Online Giving Campaign from June 3rd at 2 PM to June 4th at 2 PM.
With recent tornadoes devastating St. Louis communities and ongoing funding cuts to nonprofit initiatives, now, more than ever, your support is needed. The funds raised will directly help families who lost their homes regain stability and security. Together, we aim to raise $100,000 and provide a lifeline to those who need it most.
Why Unity Matters to BFL
Rooted in a vision of strengthening families and revitalizing communities, BFL has been making an impact since 1983 by addressing critical social challenges such as unemployment, housing, child care, and education. Over the years, unity has been the foundation of our work because, as the African proverb says, “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.”
And now, we are asking you to join us in going far—to rebuild lives and ensure no one in our community is left behind after these devastating tornadoes.
Your Impact
Every contribution, no matter how small, makes a huge difference. For 24 hours only, your gift will be QUADRUPLED, thanks to our generous matching benefactors. This means every $1 you donate provides $4 worth of support!
