Back To School!
It is almost time to go back to school!
We are getting ready to welcome back students of all ages to Thomas Dunn Learning Center. This fall semester we have a new curriculum, offering a variety of personal & professional development, art classes, and civics education. Thomas Dunn Learning Center is partnering with local businesses and community members to collect supplies for St. Louis students who are going back to school. Stay tuned for our announcement of the program directory and open registration for the fall semester. Donate here to support our fall programs.
We are distributing 400 Backpacks to St. Louis students.
As we gear up for the fall semester, we know that not all families are able to afford everything they need for the school year. Help us meet our goal of distributing 400 backpacks filled with school supplies to St. Louis students. You can drop off your donations to any of our drop off locations throughout the St. Louis region. All donations will be collected by July 31st.
