Campus Ministry coordinates three major charitable drives throughout the school year. Please see below for dates and information on the drives for the current school year.

FOOD DRIVE: SEPTEMBER 11-18, 2019

Drive Leaders: Mr. Stephen Deves, Ms. Julie Anderson, and the Freshman Pastoral Team.

The SLUH Food Drive is a school-wide event that this year is paired up with Mission Week. Each homeroom is assigned particular items. The food items and money that are collected are used to prepare predetermined meals for our Freshmen Service and Community Service (CSP) feeding shelter programs. We currently cook and serve meals at two programs through Peter & Paul Community Services: Peter & Paul's Emergency Men's Shelter in Soulard, Peter & Paul's permanent supportive housing at Garfield Place in Benton Park. If we receive more items than we need for our service cooking, donations will be distributed through programs including St. Louis Area Food Bank and Operation Food Search.

All Food Drive donations should be brought to homerooms. Click here to see the list of items assigned to each homeroom. Thank you in advance for your support of this important all-school drive!

DRIVE FOR THE HOMELESS: OCTOBER 23-30, 2019

Drive Leaders: Fr. Joseph Hill, SJ and the Junior Pastoral Team.

The SLUH Drive for the Homeless takes place October 23-30, 2018. The Senior Pastoral Team is leading this effort to help keep the men, women, and children most vulnerable in our city safe and warm this winter.

New or gently worn winter scarves, hats, gloves, sweatpants, yoga pants, sweatshirts, quilts, and blankets as well as new socks, men's and women's underwear, sports bras, and toiletries (soap, shampoo, lotion, toothbrushes, toothpaste, and deodorant in regular and travel sizes). Cash/Check donations are especially appreciated. Checks should be made out to SLUH with "Drive for the Homeless" in the memo.

Items are donated to clients of the Xavier Winter Emergency Shelter at the St. Louis University College Church, St. Louis Winter Outreach when the temperature falls below 20 degrees, and the Queen of Peace Center. Donated items should be brought to the old cafeteria across from the Campus Ministry offices before school. Items are not collected in homerooms.
