Call For Help, Inc.

Carlyn Brooks, Executive Director

Serving the Metro East Community

Annual Fund

There are men, women, and children in our community who are in need of your help and attention.  Their lives are in crisis, and they have exhausted their personal resources.  Chances are you have seen them on the street and not realized they need help.  Their lives are unmanageable, and they need somewhere they can recover, regroup, and regain their futures.

 

For 37 years, Call For Help has been a resource for those in need in the Metro East area.  Call For Help offers high quality supportive services to help people regain control of their lives.  As members of the St. Clair County business community, we ask that you consider supporting Call For Help this winter season.  Your donation makes a difference to the individuals we serve.  Here are some ways you can help:
