The Saint Louis Association of Community Organizations

To Our Valued Supporters,

The St. Louis Association Of Community Organizations (SLACO) Summer Camp is a critical source of meals, support, and hope for families in our neighborhood who lack access to safe, affordable childcare.

The devastation from May’s tornado has only intensified these hardships in the West End. Now more than ever, we need your support to keep Camp SLACO going—providing stability, enrichment, and a safe haven for the children who need it most.

Our camp provides:

• Nutritious meals and snacks served daily
• Safe, extended-hours to assist working families
• Engaging enrichment through arts, STEM, games, and field trips
• A caring, supportive environment where kids can learn, play, and grow

Our goal is to raise $25,000 by July 15th in order to fully support all 25 campers for the summer—and we can’t do this without your support.

And now, your gift will go twice as far.

A donor who asked to remain anonymous has pledged to match the first $5,000 in donations, dollar for dollar. That means your $25 becomes $50. Your $1000 becomes $2000. And your support can unlock even more joy, security, and opportunity for children in our community.

Here’s how your gift can help:

• $25 covers meals and snacks for one child for a week
• $75 provides supplies and field trip costs for one child
• $100 sends one child to camp for a week
• $400 sponsors a child for an entire month
• $1000 sponsors a child for the entire summer

Our families have been through so much, and your support means hope, stability, and the kind of summer every child deserves. Help support our children’s SLACO Summer Camp!

With sincere gratitude,

Kevin B. McKinney
Executive Director
