Making a Difference is a small 501(c)3 non-profit trying to make some changes in our little corner of the world. Our dedicated volunteers focus on the homeless & those in need in the Metro East. Our mission is to provide community outreach & help our less fortunate friends with everyday items that most of us take for granted whether it's food, clothes, basic necessities or resources. Something small to us can be huge to them and we want to make a difference in their lives.

Our History

Jerry And Michelle started as volunteers in February of 2017 and we help serve in Belleville and the homeless camps in E St.Louis. After 2 years of being a volunteer the opportunity came about to take over Making A Difference and on March of 2019 we signed the paperwork and the rest is history! Since 2017 we have helped countless individuals and families. Everything from the floods in Caseyville to the homeless sleeping on the sidwalk in St.Louis our Mission is to help our community as much as possible!
