Wishes Granted—Our 2020 Giving Tree

               Clarice, our founder, went above and beyond for her community. She always enjoyed helping others and giving back in every way possible. We take inspiration from her not only in the way we conduct business but in the way we interact with our community. In that spirit, the Clarice's Bridal family adopted a mom and daughter for Christmas. We would like to thank everyone who participated in our holiday giving tree, both through donations and volunteered labor.

               Together with our customers and community, we were able to provide over $700 in gift cards toward basic needs as well as gift every item on our adopted family’s Christmas wish list! Thank you to each and every one of you who provided gifts from our family’s wish list and funds for groceries, gas, house repairs, and so much more. We are so grateful to have brightened their Christmas morning with your help!

               Restoring a safe home to our family was one of our biggest priorities in this process. We would like to extend a big thank you to Tom Streib and the entire Streib Electric team for volunteering their services to our adopted family. Prior to Christmas, this mom-daughter duo lived without electricity in multiple rooms. They assumed there was a break in the wiring preventing electricity from reaching certain rooms. Streib Electric was a true blessing, as the Streib team discovered there were live wires which could have caused a fire. Those wires are now taken care of, and every room in the house has electricity! If ever in need, be sure to visit Streib Electric by clicking here.

                We would also like to thank the Crystal Heating and Cooling staff for volunteering to restore working heat to the family’s home. Before the Crystal team provided their services, our family made do with space heaters in multiple rooms. The pair is overjoyed to live in a safe and comfortable home thanks to their help. You can check out Crystal Heating and Cooling here. With a functional heating system, our adopted family must be able to pay for monthly heating bills. Family of Clarice's ownership have connected the family with Heat Up St. Louis to help cover heating costs. You too can help St. Louis families stay warm this winter here!

               The Clarice’s staff continues to help our adopted family in any way possible! We communicate regularly to receive updates about their struggles and successes. We consider these ladies a true part of our Clarice’s family, and we thank all of you who joined us in caring for them!
