We were proud to work with the American Public Health Association to refine their toolkit for building cross-sector public health partnerships. The Build and Bridge Library is now live and a great resource for program developers and community organizations working in the public health space!

Stronger communities are built together 🤝. The Build & Bridge Library brings partners and community-based organizations new ways to learn, share and act.

It's going to be a busy weekend in the STL, but make sure to stop by Soulard on Saturday to meet up with Martin, Shimaa, and Co. at the Hispanic Festival, Inc. St. Louis, MO. There will be empanadas (not at our table, but like everywhere else).

Still illegal. Still inhumane. Still ineffective for interrogation. Still a war crime.

June 26 is the United Nations Day in Support of Victims of Torture. With war crimes and torture becoming defining elements of conflicts across the globe, it’s important to amplify that these acts are still fundamentally wrong and illegal. While we hope for legal reckonings for the actors, we stand in solidarity with the survivors and renew our commitment to helping them heal and centering their experience at the core of our efforts in the St. Louis area and through our national and international networks.

Today is the first week as Monarch Immigrant Services without Alicia in the Assistant Director's office. For the last 2.5 years, Alicia Delaney-Clayton has kept the organization running and was a (if not "the") catalyst for all the major transitions during that time: the move to the Grove, the rebrand to Monarch, overhauling our HR, and improving our workplace culture. It's difficult to imagine where we would be without all her efforts.

We wish her all the best at her new HR position at Purina and have every intention of keeping her close to the agency. Thank you, Alicia!!

Nothing to see here. Just a group of former Afghan refugees running food deliveries to elderly tornado victims in North City. Afghan Services Coordinator Haroon Safi heeded the call from the City's Office of New Americans and St. Louis Area Agency on Aging to get food to homebound senior clients of Wesley House Association last Friday. Proud of our guys.

We give, we love, we create, we produce, we build... We are stronger together.

THANK YOU! Your support for Monarch during Give STL Day was unbelievable! Due to your commitment to our vital work, we're launching something exciting. We've been working behind the scenes with passionate Monarch donors to build a support system in case our funding becomes unstable.

Today marks the official launch of the Monarch Resilience Fund! We have a goal to raise $50,000 for this fund and are almost halfway there with donor support and Give STL Day getting us to $23,998! This fund will allow us to fill in funding gaps as they arise. Will you help us provide crucial resources to the immigrants and refugees here in St. Louis?

Donate today at monarchstl.org/donate 🦋💛

We’re in the last power hour of Give STL Day and only $310 away from our $5,000 goal!

You are helping make our vital programs possible with every dollar donated. Your support of the immigrant and refugee community has never been more necessary.
