Early in the week we heard about a tragic incident at one of our outreach locations. We immediately sent out a call to partner organizations and individuals for assistance in getting resources and services out to them immediately.
For several days this week, those orgs and people showed up. Today in particular, we saw what collaboration looks like. This is just the beginning of making sure that the participants who suffered losses there can begin to bounce back.
As a collective we will be there to help in the ways that they tell us they need it the most. You won't see the cameras and too many posts about it, but the work is getting done.
Thank you to all of you who have contributed in any way. Stay tuned as we continue to focus on what matters most, the people.

🔥🚨🔥
This location — one of our regular outreach stops — burned down.

The people who were residing there have lost everything.

Our team serves this community every week. We know their names. We know their stories. And right now, they need us.

We are asking for immediate support for the individuals who were displaced.

Needed items:
• Blankets
• Tents
• Cots
• Sleeping bags
• Water
• Socks
• Gloves
• Hand warmers
• Tarps
• Can openers

If you’re able to donate supplies, we will get them directly into the hands of those who need them.

Monetary donations are also welcome and will go toward helping people reestablish themselves after this loss.

This is our community. We show up. If you can stand with us right now, we’d be grateful.

One person was confirmed dead after a fire at the three-story vacant building at 1400 block of North 13th Street

🧪 Drug Checking Results | St. Louis Region

Recent samples submitted through our drug checking partnership with STL County’s Project Eagle Fang continue to show extreme poly-drug contamination — meaning multiple substances mixed together in single samples.

Samples suspected to be fentanyl contained combinations of:
• Multiple fentanyl analogs
• He**in metabolites
• Co***ne
• Xylazine
• Medetomidine
• Nitazenes

Translation:
What someone thinks is “one thing” is often many powerful drugs stacked together.

This drastically increases overdose risk.

Not because people are “using wrong.”
Not because people are careless.
But because the supply is unpredictable and unstable.

This is why drug checking matters.
This is why naloxone matters.
This is why rescue breathes are important.
This is why never using alone matters.
This is why we talk about slow dosing and test shots.
This is why harm reduction saves lives.

We share this not to scare —
but to equip.

If you use:
➡️ Carry naloxone
➡️ Use with others if possible or let others know
➡️ Start low, go slow
➡️ Test when possible

If you don’t use:
Carry naloxone anyway. You never know who’s using around you.

At MoNetwork we believe real change happens when people feel seen, supported, and respected.
We’re grateful for the chance to share more about our mission — and the people who make this community what it is.

We’re pretty quiet over here.
Not the loudest on social media.
Honestly… kind of terrible at it 🫠

But where it counts? We are steady.

Every single week—rain, sleet, snow, freezing temps—our team is out there. Showing up. Bringing supplies. Bringing love. Doing the work whether anyone’s watching or not.

Consistency is everything.

Our participants know us. They know we’ll be there. Same faces. Same care. Same promise kept. We don’t just pass through—we build relationships, earn trust, and show up with respect and heart. That trust means more to us than likes or shares ever could.

So if we seem quiet, know this:
We are showing up.
Every day.
Every stop.
Always served with love. 💙

Tomorrow’s the day. 💙

We’re rolling up our sleeves, showing up for our neighbors, and doing what community has always done best — taking care of each other. Come lend a hand, share some laughs, and be part of something bigger than all of us. No experience needed. Just a willing heart and a little grit.

See you tomorrow. Let’s get to work.

This Thanksgiving 🦃🍽️
We didn’t just serve meals — we served love.
Out on outreach and back at the center, our team showed up big. Through rain, cold, laughter, 21 turkeys and a whole lot of hustle, we fed well over 500 people this holiday season.

Five hundred neighbors who deserved a hot meal, a moment of dignity, and a reminder that they’re not forgotten.
Five hundred reasons we keep doing this work, year after year.

And as we move toward Christmas, we’re gearing up to do it all again — with even more warmth, more plates, more community, and more radical love. If you’d like to help us make sure every neighbor has food on the table this holiday season, you can donate here:

Together, we make the season brighter. 💙✨

💙 Wednesdays at MoNetwork: From Soup to Something Beautiful

What started as canned soup in a crockpot has grown into something much bigger — a weekly meal that feeds 30–40 people and nourishes community. Every Wednesday, folks come together around the table to eat, laugh, and reconnect.

It’s been incredible to watch this lunch grow from a simple idea into a steady source of connection and care. Sure, there are weeks when it’s stressful — weeks we think about canceling — but then we see the faces, the hugs, the stories shared over plates of food… and we remember why we do it.

We’re trying something new to help sustain this effort. We’ve set up a SignUpGenius where you can support our Wednesday lunches by:
🥘 Donating a main dish or side dish
🥤 Providing drinks or desserts
💵 Contributing funds to help us keep meals going

Every plate served is another reminder that community care matters.
👉 Sign up or donate here
https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C044DA4AE2BA0FBCF8-60246143-wednesdays

Thank you for helping us keep this table open — where everyone belongs, and no one eats alone. 💙

🎒 Second Saturday Serve-Up — This Saturday, Nov 8!
Volunteer time: 10:00–12:00

We keep it simple. We keep it loving. We keep it moving.
Roll in at 10, leave lighter by noon.

Every kit we pack is a hand on someone’s shoulder.
Every hour given is a little more dignity out on the street.

See you Saturday. Let’s pour love so our city overflows. 💙
