Welcome to the 2020 CHUM Virtual Fundraiser!

I became involved with CHUM after working with Deb Holman, CHUM’s Street Outreach Worker, at the St Louis County Jail. CHUM and Deb are a lifeline for so many individuals leaving our jail. We except anyone released from jail or prison to be able to return to our community and make different choices. Despite the fact that it is more likely people are returning to our community with fewer resources and less hope. Getting out of jail with nowhere to go or no one to call is not uncommon. Deb is always willing to make that needed connection with people in need, no matter their circumstance. CHUM is that safety net on which our community relies.  

Deb’s enthusiasm and compassion is tenacious and contagious just like Covid-19! I hope you will support Deb and all the work CHUM does during this virtual and virus free fundraiser. 

I am honored to support this important work.
