The Kingdom House Senior Companion Program is seeking to recruit members for its Advisory Council. Through home and community visits, Senior Companion volunteers help isolated and frail older adults maintain the highest possible level of independent living. The purpose of the Council is to promote the growth of the Senior Companion Program, enhance the project through awareness of community needs, and the needs of the Senior Companions to succeed in their assignments. We are seeking individuals who are connected to communities with potential volunteers and clients to help grow our program especially in north St. Louis City, St. Louis County, St. Charles County, Jefferson County and Franklin County.
Interested parties should contact, Samantha Ferguson Knight for more information.

Mission Statement
Our mission is to help individuals and families achieve economic well-being by providing high-impact, relationship-based programming and by addressing systemic barriers to their success.
Description
Our vision is that all people in the St. Louis region have access to the opportunities and support that allow them to achieve economic well-being. LifeWise StL supports the vision by increasing its thought leadership, building presence through program growth and expanding influence in the community.
Our story began in 1902 when LifeWise StL was founded as a settlement house. Middle class men and women provided education and resources to help the growing immigrant population of St. Louis. They created a place of hope, refuge, learning and connection. These ideals have endured even as the community around us has changed and life situations are more challenging.
Our organization has experienced its own metamorphosis as it adapted to meet the needs of our participants. We have moved away from crisis services toward holistic transformations. Today, we have a model that is based on educational programming fused with personalized and supportive coaching.
