Making STL Better for 40 Years!

December 14, 2022

We can’t be thankful enough for the 6,000+ volunteers who joined in Brightside projects this year to clean up and beautify St. Louis!

Not only did you help us celebrate 40 years of cleaning and greening, you helped improve the quality of life across STL.  Here’s what we accomplished together:

• Vital habitat restored for bees, butterflies and other pollinators at 13 neighborhood gardens with 1,400 native perennials, 215 grasses and sedges, 46 shrubs, 7 trees and 1,620 daffodils and tulips.
• Green spaces beautified with 120,000 flowers and 40,000 daffodils.
• Graffiti removed from more than 1,800 vandalized homes, businesses, schools, churches and public spaces.
• More than 11,500 trash bags filled with litter and debris.

We don’t know what else to say, but, “Wow!!”  Support from Brightside friends like you continues to shine through and strengthen our community!

With 2022 nearly to a close, there is still time to make a tax-deductible donation.
