Our 2025 Mission
We at The Mission Attempt believe To Love is to Help. Having recently secured our own 501c3 status and listing in Guidestar, we are working hard to expand our reach. To that end, we doubled our fundraising goal this year to $40,000–And we met our goal!
The funds will go to the projects listed here. Our community includes generous and committed donors from all over the St. Louis area and nationwide. We are on a mission. Join us!

Nominate a business or individual who is making a difference in our community so we can celebrate them. If you can’t make it, consider being a sponsor. The money we raise helps us make wishes come true for 40 families at our Hope for the Holidays event in December.
Juneteenth: Utility Assistance
Imagine your family not being able to pay the electric bill, and having to bear the heat. That was the reality for several of our community members in 2024. Fortunately, we were able to help six families get reconnected to power so they could have air conditioning in the sweltering summer. We plan to do the same in 2025!
“I want to take the time to say thank you to the Mission Attempt for making my payment on my electric bill…I was overjoyed…This helped me out so much, and honestly took some stress off my back. Thank you again, greatly appreciated.”
