Giving Tuesday is a global generosity movement unleashing the power of radical generosity. Giving Tuesday was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good. Since then, it has grown into a year-round global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate and celebrate generosity.
This year, while Giving Tuesday 2022 is November 29, early donations are accepted by participating nonprofits. To give to A Seat at the Table as part of your Giving Tuesday 2022 efforts, simply go to www.aseatatthetable.org/donate.html and select “Giving Tuesday 2022” from the drop-down menu.

Thank you ALL who donated to A Seat at the Table in yesterday’s GivingTuesday! Your more than $20,000 in donations will help equip our new family home in Ferguson for promising young women. Please also consider becoming a MONTHLY SPONSOR as well at www.aseatatthetable.org/donate.
Oct. 19, 2021 was a BIG day for A Seat at the Table! Thanks to generous donors, we purchased our 2nd STL-area home: a 7-bdrm, 4 full & 1 half bath 2-story in the north county community of Ferguson. Highlights include: a finished-basement with a second kitchen, spacious family room and a large sunroom. We’re excited to soon welcome in 4 young WOMEN to live with a phenomenal set of host parents! Check back soon for more details on our host parents and in-coming young women!
Recently, with the help of interviewer Henry Wynd and videographer Brian Mongoven (both Youth Crossing standouts in their younger days!), we recorded thoughts from our current three A Seat at the Table residents, Jamel Williams, Larry Hearn and Resident Intern Joe Lewis III, as well as from co-founders and host parents Bob & Chrissy Stergos. These excerpts will give you an idea of the impact A Seat at the Table is having on all their lives… and a preview of what, with your help, we can also do for the 3 to 4 girls who will move into our second A Seat at the Table home: Watch the interviews via the links below:
Included in Crossing Pastor Angela Beise's insightful "Paul-Timothy mentoring" weekend messages was an interview with our resident Larry Hearn and Executive Director Bob Stergos.
We're so thankful to Angela and The Crossing for raising awareness of A Seat at the Table and to our supporters for making this ministry possible. And if you missed Angela's weekend message, you should check it out here: https://thecrossing.online/message/timothy. |
