Here's a great way to help out others. I work with a group called BRO-St. Louis. www.brostl.org
We provide toys during the holidays for families in need in the St. Louis area. We are also a recipent of books from First Book, check this out below. When you shake hands with the USCG, keep the men and women who serve, and protect our coast line and water ways in your thoughts and prayers. My dad, was a WWII era Coast Guardsman.
