“Thrive has helped me out in more way than one. They were a listening ear for me when I went through my pregnancy alone. I got great tips and tricks during my parent university class. I have developed great relationships with staff as well as other mothers. They help with supplies such as diapers and wipes when needed. I enjoy this program all around and I am glad that I found them and that they are always around to help

“Friendly helpful people who provide furniture to those those who have a place to put it and no way to buy it. It's neighbors helping neighbors who get to choose what they like. St. Louis ethical society bought dressers from Ikea and came to put it together in the very clean workshop. Warehouse. People were friendly and helpful! Highly recommend it”
“My home is very spacious and nice, quiet neighborhood, rental process was easygoing. Rental rates are fair I would recommend Purpose Residential to Family&Friends.”
“Really great community arts studio with a wide range of classes in almost every medium. Great teachers and price point. Be aware that the website makes it very hard to find drawing classes, but they are offered. Can’t recommend the ceramics classes enough.”
“This place has so much space! Meeting room was comfortable with bar options. Basketball games going on in another section. Couches in the free spaces and comfortable chairs. Plenty of opportunities to contribute to the community posted along the way.”
“I went over this month on Sunday and was very impressed
With the quality and amount of pet food given me for my
Cats. Thank you for my cats ?⬛”
“I've recently taken 3 "Tools 101" courses at Perennial, each led by the incredible Brad. He spends a lot of time ensuring that we all understand how to safely turn on and off and operate each tool (I did separate classes with the table saw, router, and power saws). He will walk you through the parts, how it works, do a demo, then set up each tool for the participants in the class to try, so you're getting real hands-on experience. His knowledge of these tools (and general woodworking, construction, and carpentry) is extensive, but he teaches in a way that won't go over your head, make you feel overwhelmed, or feel laborious. He's charming, inviting, welcomes any and all questions, makes you feel welcome whether you're a complete novice or have experience with the tools. Couldn't recommend these classes enough!”
“What a great organization to help baby birds. I was helped by Tavia when a baby bird flew in the pool. She was so knowledgeable and friendly and when I dropped the baby bird off. When I left the baby had stopped shaking and already looked better. Thank you so much!”
“I have been going here since November 2021 and I don't know how I would survive without them. I started coming to Food Outreach after my hospitalization in June 2021. The staff and volunteers are friendly and helpful. Absolutely Amazing. Thank you.”
“This is our second stay at Haven House, the first for us at the new facility. I'm absolutely floored by the warm greeting and tour we recieved from Tim (I think that's his name). The facility is impressive with multiple family and children's areas, hot meals served during your stay, and free snacks/drinks for guests. We were so absolutely stressed about our sons surgery and staying so far from home. But around every turn in this facility is a reminder that there is a whole staff of people to support us and make us as comfortable as possible. I couldn't be more thankful that this facility exists.”
“Great place to go! But weather is a major factor (outdoor seating), and if you're sitting in the top section - C - be sure to bring binoculars ao you can actually see the faces of the performers.”
“IT WAS VERY NICE FOR THEM TO PLANT A TREE FOR MY SON. THAT WAS MURDER 10/20/ 2015 ? MY BIRTHDAY I TURNED SIXTH AND HE WAS THE HUNDRED AND SIXTH MURDERED.

“I casually drop in the Resale Shop now and then and the last two visits have been so rewarding! I found several lovely items and got great discounts, too. On Spin the Wheel day I hit 50% off my purchase and just last week was treated to 30% off because of a Pop-Up Sale! Thank you, NCJW ?”
“Today, I experienced the feeling of being welcomed with love. The two women that assisted my little boy and I were kind, patient, compassionate, generous, generous, and so much more. I'm 38 years old. I've lived in Saint Louis, MO. This was the first time I've experienced anything even close to how Jesus asked us to treat each other. I'm crying right now thinking about how sweet they were.
I rarely get out because I don't have transportation. It's hard to get anyone to take me anywhere. I've been stuck in my house for 2 months before, without anyone. This was the first time I've gotten to shop for clothes for myself in a physical store since I was in my late 20's I believe.
I met good people today. Even some customers! I wish life was like this more often, but I'm grateful to have experienced this.. this one time to know it's real.
Samantha and the young blonde woman working together at the Creve Coeur Saint Vincent Thrift Store, thank you.”
“I truly enjoy the ymca and this location in particular. There is a strong sense of community here. My frustration is not getting into the classes. Body pump will fill up 5 minutes after opening. I am usually at work during this time making it difficult to sign up on time. This issue is not specific to this location and I would be happy to use the old weights if there was more space. It feels great to get into a routine and wish it was not difficult to get into the class. The y, especially South City, has high quality classes and is really a great place to be.”
“This is an awesome organization. My child was having trouble with math and hated it. Kevin, which is a volunteer has not only helped my child understand math, but now he enjoys the subject. The quality tutoring the volunteers provide is remarkable and the cost is very affordable. If you have a child that needs help in any subject, I recommend Stomp the World. I love the work this organization does.”
“We have been going here for many years & the fish is always amazing. The sides are also very good. The workers are friendly & we love sitting on the covered deck (at least when it's not 100 outside.)”
“It's almost a museum brings me back to my scouting days, anything you might need for scouting is there. A lady sews on patches once a month who is located in the store. Interesting place to visit. Very helpful workers. I took old American flags there to be recycled.”
“As a working artist, I really appreciate the calls for art, juried shows , and opportunities to participate and teach. Beautiful gallery space and dedicated people.”
“Duo is absolutely incredible! James is by far the best trainer I have ever worked with, and has taught our whole family so much about dog behavior and positive reinforcement which has set us up for success with all four of our dogs. We went through Touch Therapy training as well as basic obedience class, both of which were really educational and productive experiences. We have completed obedience at other organizations and it just does not compare - James has been very good about meeting our dogs’ individual needs and troubleshooting specific problems with us. We love being a Touch Therapy team and commend Duo for all the good they are contributing to the world with their trained service dogs as well as touch teams and well-trained companion animals. Excellent organization!”
“My mom and I have adopted a total of four cats from Judy’s between the two of us. All of them have been obviously well cared for and socialized. Their communication is fantastic and records are thorough.They were very patient as I went through the gambit of emotions when adopting anew kitten after losing my previous 6 year old cat tocancer.Could not recommend enough!Edgar (Magneto)Wednesday (Mimi)Mae ??August (Dino)”
“Excellent teachers for kids (and parents) from a massive array of backgrounds that have experience helping families just as diverse. The school is extremely safe, promotes personal growth and adjusts to your child's needs”

“A great art center in a great location. Tons of cool events and a great facility in general. I can't recommend this place enough. The speaker setup in one of the main rooms is top-notch.”
“i went here on a trip a year ago when i was in 8th grade at steam academy, and it was really cool! i liked the interactive experience and i think anyone should definitely try it out because it’s really cool and you can practice teamwork during the experience ?”
“I have been going here recently to shop mushrooms and local produces but I noticed that most of the fruits like avocados , tangerines, banana, mangoes are not organic at all including onions and some other vegetables also them selling hybrid ginger instead of wild and locals one doesn’t sit nice. I thought this shop was all about organic and local produces . Lost one star for that cause overall I love this shop .”
“Had trouble trying to donate on line however I live close by. I decided to visit instead. Very friendly and helpful. I'm glad I went. There was even an article on the organization in a free weekly newspaper this week. I learned something new.”
“I took my father-in-law here for ideas to help him with reading and other daily activities. Everyone was kind, patient, and very thorough. We left with many ideas to help him live with his vision loss and ordered some magnifiers today. I highly recommend visiting here if you have vision loss. Thank you for a great experience!”
“Limited selection at this store but I always find ceramics to buy made in Portugal, Italy, or Spain. These bowls are a great way to take a dish to a gathering and gift the host with the dish.”
“Great little store! Very friendly and lots of unique finds in one place. If you're looking for a good way to support small businesses and local artists then you need to check them out.Great location. Friendly staff. Street or nearby garage parking.”
