The SoulFisher Ministries (TSM) is dedicated to serving the St. Louis community by educating underprivileged youth and providing valuable reentry programs and resources to woman involved in the criminal justice system. The ENAL staff consistently stands in the gap by providing quality educational support and enrichment opportunities for students, in Riverview School District, who have an incarcerated parent or are performing below grade level expectations. The AGAPE Reentry Program promotes restorative justice for incarcerated women by providing pre and post release reentry services, including supportive housing. TSM is building a network of partners to provide a holistic approach to student achievement and successful transition from incarceration back to the community for women.
With the help of our supporters, donors, and grant funders, TSM can continue to be a major stepping stone, to success, for its clients. The recent purchase of a new office building has already increased the organization’s capacity to serve more clients through expanded office space and increased staff. Likewise, it allows the organization to host meetings and trainings that bring the community together for further collaboration on greater community and economic empowerment. The staff at TSM is amazed at everything we have been able to accomplish, but there is still work to be done!
TSM is expanding its impact in the community by continuing renovations of the building so that it can be used to benefit other non-profits through co-working and use of training and meeting spaces. Other small non-profit organizations will have access to the lower level, which will have a full-service kitchen and space to host their own trainings and seminars. The upper level will be available for additional TSM staff. Plans to beautify the outside of the building include: painting, landscaping, modern windows, signage, and a finished garage.
To accomplish all of this, TSM’s capital improvement goal is to raise $525,000. Now is your chance to be a part of the vision! With your individual contribution, you can play a substantial part in helping TSM reach its goal.
