During the holiday season, 100 families are highlighted in the St. Louis Post Dispatch. Read the paper daily to gain insight on what some families need, or contact our volunteers, and select a family to adopt and tailor your giving specifically to them. Or, you can give a general donation that will be used to help the more than 10,000 families that apply for help through 100 Neediest Cases.

Another important and effective way to give is to make a general contribution to 100 Neediest Cases. A general contribution will go into a pool to aid every family submitted. Since every case has been reviewed, you know your gift is going to help thousands of people who truly need it.

Giving to 100 Neediest Cases is a fun group event. Gather your friends or coworkers and adopt a family, or multiple families. Create “giving goals” and try different fund raising events like bake sales, pot-luck lunches, and corporate matching.
