Resource Relief Fund

“Thank you for answering our prayers.”

On May 4, 2020, the Scottish Rite Foundation of Missouri, the LIGHT Foundation and personal donors created the Resource Relief Fund to support families impacted by the COVID-19 Crisis through job loss and unforeseen hardship. One of the Scottish Rite Foundation of Missouri’s charity pillars is Disaster Relief. The core focus of the LIGHT Foundation is to create youth opportunities. Together, we are compelled to support our families in need.

As of 6/30/20, 20 Families have received cash aid and one at-risk preschool was provided with necessary Personal Protective Equipment to be able to re-open in June from the Resource Relief Fund. There continues to be overwhelming COVID-19 related need across our state. Donors that contribute to the Resource Relief Fund know that 100% of their tax-deductible gift is funded back to the community.

The need continues and we welcome you to join in this disaster relief effort. Donations to the Resource Relief Fund can be made online HERE or by mailing funds to: The LIGHT Foundation (memo Resource Relief Fund), 10803 Olive Blvd., Ste. 100, St. Louis, MO 63141.

For questions, please contact the SRF Executive Director, Paul DeMerath (srf-stl@sbcglobal.net) or the LIGHT Foundation Executive Director, Sheri Mistretta (sherim@light.foundation; 314.287.3633). Our mutual calling is to serve those in need and the time is now.

As long as funds remain, recommendations for relief can be sent to: relief@light.foundation
