    MEETING THE NEEDS OF ST. LOUIS INNER CITY STUDENTS: WE WORK TO ELIMINATE BARRIERS TO LEARNING BY PROVIDING FOR THE BASIC NEEDS OF STUDENTS LIVING IN POVERTY IN THE ST. LOUIS AREA. IN THE 2017-18 SCHOOL YEAR, WE SERVED OVER 9,400 STUDENTS IN 34 PARTNER SCHOOLS, WHERE WE PROVIDE PROGRAMS AND PARTNERSHIPS THAT ADDRESS THE NEEDS OF THE WHOLE CHILD. THIS INCLUDES DIRECT SERVICES SUCH AS CLOTHING, BOOKS AND SCHOOL SUPPLIES, AND CONVENED SERVICES SUCH AS WELLNESS SCREENINGS AND BEHAVIORAL COUNSELING.
