May Day Parade To Be Rescheduled; Activities Added
As they say in Hollywood, "The Show Must Go On!" Unfortunately, the health and safety precautions in place due to the COVID-19 pandemic have forced us to re-evaluate our plans for the 110th Annual May Day Parade and Family Reunion Weekend scheduled for May 15-17, 2020. We are working diligently with the City of St. Louis, health department officials, and our planning team to reschedule the event as quickly as possible. We are looking forward to celebrating our St. Louis superstars and showcasing all of our parade participants. Of course we have a lot of details to work through but we will keep you posted as we confirm new dates and add new weekend activities. All information regarding our new date, new activities, and more will be sent to the email address we have on file for you and posted on our website. In the meantime, if you have any questions, please send an email pwashington@anniemalone.com.

Annie Malone Children and Family Services is making an emergency appeal to the public for support as we provide care for clients and vulnerable members of the community who will be impacted disproportionately by the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Our agency, like many nonprofits and smaller businesses, operates with little wiggle room financially,” said Cozy Marks, Chairman of the agency’s Board of Directors. “This Coronavirus pandemic will significantly impact our ability to provide the services that our families trust us to deliver. We are doing everything we can to be prudent and responsible but we need the public's help in order to continue helping those most at risk.”
Annie Malone has set up donation stations for the public to drop of cleaning supplies and basic household items including towels and bed linens to be used in their residential facilities housing an average of 25 children on any given day. The agency is also seeking financial donations to help support program delivery and offset increased costs during the pandemic.
“Our cleaning and sanitation costs have escalated. Our food costs will rise tremendously because of the quarantine,” said CEO Sara Lahman. “We have to be able to deliver services as a social service agency. We are often the last hope for people and we need the public’s help to continue programs.”
Donations of cleaning supplies and household items can be brought to Annie Malone at 2612 Annie Malone Drive, 63113. Financial donations can be made online. Click here. Donations can also be mailed to 2612 Annie Malone Drive, 63113. In addition, Amazon shoppers can purchase items from our Wish List online and have the items shipped directly to Annie Malone.
