An Illustration Of Need In Our Community



In partnership with United Way and the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, 100 Neediest Cases has helped thousands of local families and individuals in need during the holidays for generations. Through an annual art contest, the top 40 pieces of art are published to help demonstrate the need in our community along with the opportunity to help support those families and individuals.
