City of St. Louis issued the following announcement on Feb.3.
Every year, the City of St. Louis Assessor’s Office employees donate $1 or $2 to be able to dress down on Fridays with the proceeds going to local charities. With over 60 employees, those donations add up week after week, and this year amounted to $2000.
The Assessor’s Office Charity Committee seeks out and reviews local charities as potential recipients. The committee puts forward several charities and then the assessor office employees receive a ballot to vote for four winning recipients. For 2019, 4 recipients received a $500 donation.
Once a charity has won, it must sit out two years before being considered again, so that year after year, the charity dollars get spread as wide as possible across the community.
