COMMUNITY & CULTURE COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT Crisis Nursery Thanks Community at Eat. Shop. Love. Event As many as 250 new and gently used purses filled with women’s care items and other fun treats were collected at Saint Louis Crisis Nursery’s third annual Eat. Shop. Love., a community celebration. The purses were gifted to Crisis Nursery moms enrolled in the agency’s Family Empowerment Program, which offers families follow-up support and other critical resources. Each guest that donated a purse was entered into a random drawing for a brand new COACH tote filled with special surprises. Crisis Nursery board member Janet Conners was this year’s winner. Other guests won mall gift cards valued at $250 and $50. GAZELLE WEST
