In October, ARCHS benefited from a donation to support its Neighborhood Healing Network (NHN) initiative. OCL Architectural Lighting generously provided items to assist individuals affected by domestic violence. OCL assembled 200 personal care packages that contained items such as combs, soaps, deodorant, toothbrushes, toothpaste, body wash, shampoo, lotion, and hand sanitizer.
Additionally, handwritten notes from OCL staff were included in every package, offering words of encouragement. The packages were distributed to clients served via ARCHS’ NHN partners – Better Family Life, Boys & Girls Club of St. Louis, Fathers & Families Support Center, Mission St. Louis, and the Urban League of St. Louis.
The recipients of OCL’s personal care packages expressed deep gratitude for the thoughtful gesture, and the special notes that provided emotional support, helping to uplift and reassure.
