Football Breakfasts Update

We had our 5th Football Breakfast on Saturday, Oct. 4, 2014. The last one will be on Saturday, October 18, 2014.

Student cadets from the Roosevelt High School Marine Corps Junior ROTC have volunteered at three of the breakfasts.

Adult volunteers from the Young Life program (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Young-Life-St-Louis-City/50992473679  ) volunteered at another breakfast.

The RCC itself provided the volunteers for the first breakfast in August.

The August Gate Church, located here in Tower Grove East, will provide the volunteers for the last breakfast on October 18, 2014.  http://www.augustgate.com/

A big Thank You to all of the volunteers - the breakfasts could not happen without them !!

First Football Breakfast of 2015

"Football Breakfasts" means providing breakfast for the Roosevelt High School football team before its Saturday home JV and Varsity games. About 85% of the students at Roosevelt are eligible for the school's free or reduced price meal program during the school week, but there are no such meals on Saturdays.
