Vote for The Bridge in Grow St. Louis Contest

Almost 160 St. Louis area non-profits, including The Bridge, have submitted entries into Monsanto’s Grow St. Louis contest. Public voting will determine the top three winners of $15,000, $10,000 and $5,000 grants from Monsanto.

Please go to  www.stlgrown.com to vote for The Bridge. You can vote 1 time per day from Jan. 9 through Jan. 29. So vote daily!

Our project entry is called Family Room.  If we are awarded one of the grants, we’ll use the money to establish an area at The Bridge that is designated for use by families with young children.  In this space, the kids will have a chance to play, learn and nap, and their adult guardians will have the opportunity to relax and to share with other parents, grandparents, etc.  At some point, we’d love to be able to employ a social worker who has experience in early childhood development and family dynamics.

This is an opportunity for all St. Louisans to have a voice in choosing projects they think will most help Grow St. Louis. We hope you’ll support us by voting for our entry – and spread the word to all your friends and family members to vote for us, too!
