BARK About the Community » Jefferson County http://barkaboutthecommunity.org BARK About the Community - Missouri was created in 2009 amid the economic crisis and the healthcare-reform debate. As a blog, BARK gives community organizations and caregivers a place where they can share ideas and raise awareness about resources that, if you’re down on your luck, can help you improve your quality of life.

During this event, the “celebrity greeters” requested funds to benefit area residents that may be in need of heating assistance. This event took place throughout several Hardee’s restaurant locations in St. Louis City and County, with media coverage from local news channels.

Heat Up/ Cool Down St. Louis provides a safety net in a region which often does not have enough federal, state or utility funds to help keep the needy connected to their utility services. It was to my surprise that the public was so generous when donating funds to a great cause. During this time of economic crisis, many people are in need of assistance in any way possible.

Heat Up / Cool Down St. Louis services these areas:

St. Louis City & County, St. Charles County, Lincoln County, Jefferson County, Franklin County, St. Clare County (IL), St. Genevieve County, Iron County, Madison County, and Butler County.
