Kennedy In the Community- Epworth Children and Family Services

Kennedy Painting is passionate about giving back to the community and doing what we can as a company to help those in need. As we approach the holidays, we have decided to partner with Epworth Children and Family Services to collect non-perishable food items and basic hygiene necessities.

Epworth Food Pantry, launched in April 2020 to address widespread and increasing food insecurity throughout the St. Louis region, serves dozens of families each week by providing boxes of food, including pasta, sauces, canned meats, canned vegetables, and preserved fruit, which may also be supplemented by dairy items, frozen meat, fresh produce, and other goods, depending on availability. The food items provided come from a variety of sources, including the St. Louis Food Bank, Operation Food Search, and private donations from businesses and benefactors in the community.

Epworth also provides housing services to St.Louis teens and young adults. Epworth provides safe housing while assisting in finding both semi-permanent and stable housing on their path to independence and self-sufficiency.
