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. 💙✨

Your kindness echoes through every warm meal, every safe space, every kit, every moment we get to look someone in the eye and remind them they matter. 💙
We meet people exactly where they are — with love, respect, and open arms — so no one has to walk their hardest days alone.

This , your gift helps our neighbors stay warm, fed, and connected to a community that refuses to give up on them.

Our coat drive and turkey lunch was nothing short of beautiful.
186 people came through our doors, grabbed a warm coat, shared a hot meal, and walked back into the world with full bellies and fuller hearts.

There’s something sacred about days like this… the way community gathers, the way strangers become neighbors, the way a hot plate of turkey can feel like hope you can taste. It’s the old-school way of showing love — feed people, warm people, care for people — and it never fails us.

And to our volunteers… whew. You are the backbone, the heartbeat, the steady hands behind the scenes. From organizing coats to serving plates to keeping everything flowing like a well-oiled machine — you made today smooth, warm, and full of joy. We couldn’t do any of this without you, and we wouldn’t want to.

Here’s to community done right.
Here’s to warmth in the cold season.
Here’s to love showing up in practical, powerful ways. 💙🧥🦃

Radical love, always.

We had the honor of attending the Drug Policy Alliance Conference in Detroit — and whew… the energy was EVERYTHING.
Rooms full of people leading with love, purpose, and pure fire.

Now we’re rolled back into St. Louis with full hearts, high spirits, and our sleeves already up.
This work takes passion. It takes courage. It takes joy. It takes us.

And we’re ready to pour every drop of that Detroit spark right back into our community.

Good vibes only. Radical love always.
Let’s get to work. 💙🔥

💙 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.

🎃 Happy Halloween from all of us at MoNetwork! 👻

We had a packed house for our Halloween bash — bellies were full, laughs were loud, and the love was overflowing. 🧡 Huge shoutout to every volunteer and staff who made the night a spooky success — y’all are the real MVPs behind the magic.

As you head out for your own Halloween adventures tonight, remember to stay safe and look out for each other:
🩸 Test your substances before you use.
🧛‍♀️ Use with a trusted person if possible.
💊 Carry naloxone (and know how to use it — rescue breaths save lives too!).
🧃 Hydrate and eat something before the festivities.
🚗 And if you’re too lit to drive… don’t. Call a ride.

Keep it spooky, keep it safe, and keep showing up for each other. 💙

We’re gearing up for our annual Halloween bash — expect community, candy, and just the right amount of unhinged energy. 💀

Stop by 6-8pm for a SPOOKtacular Time! 👻
