My Nonprofit Reviews

Kathy Acre is relentless in her efforts to make a positive impact in the lives of our homeless neighbors. Wheter she is planning benefits to raise funds to put towards purchasing the “Citypack”, backpacks, (specifically made for homeless folks), collecting the items to fill these great bags, or working alongside other like minded organizations that support the St. Louis homeless population, it is apparent that this is a person who cares deeply about the value of all people. It’s been an amazing experience to work along side Kathy over the last several years .... she truly is a force of nature when it comes to helping our marginalized families and showing them they matter !!!

I've recently had the chance to meet Kathy Acre and learn about her non-profit, BACK@YOU. Within the course of a year , Kathy has gained great momentum. Starting out by filling and handing out just 20 backpacks she purchased inexpensively, to handing out over 200, "specially designed backpacks", this year. She CAREFULLY fills these packs with essentials for life on the streets. That obviously didn't feel like enough, so Kathy makes sure that each pack is given out by a volunteer and comes with a handmade scarf to show these folks that they matter. Kathy Acre's desire to help the homeless in this small, but very important way is contagious! I HiGHLY recommend getting involved with this effort.
