Support the PUTTING KIDS FIRST campaign for St. Louis County.

This initiative would establish a Community Children's Service Fund to help area children, youth and their families facing tough issues like substance use, child abuse, and mental illness. A one-quarter-cent sales tax would provide dedicated revenue for these essential services. The campaign was initiated by a group of non-profit agencies serving children and families in St. Louis County, who witnessed that many children’s needs were not being met due to lack of funding.

Similar Community Children’s Service Funds already exist in the City of St. Louis, St. Charles County and Jefferson County. These funds provide much-needed ongoing support for essential services to children.

If you haven’t signed the petition and are a St. Louis County resident, please do so immediately.
