Kirk Care

Kirk Care is a non-profit organization formed by the Kirkwood Ministerial Alliance. The mission of Kirk Care is to embody compassion and address hunger and poverty by offering food assistance and emergency utility support to low-income families and individuals within the Kirkwood R-7 school district. 

It is directed and staffed by lay people from the churches within the R-7 school district. Churches, schools, individuals, and many civic organizations in the area contribute to Kirk Care with food and/or money. Kirk Care members take an active role in providing services to those in need for the communities of Kirkwood, Glendale, Warson Woods, Des Peres, and Oakland.
