All of our Straub's stores participate in our local communities in a number of ways throughout the year. We love to give back to the communities we serve!

Straub's is a small business and because we field a tremendous amount of requests each year, we have had to develop some guidelines by which we follow when it comes to our own stewardship.

Here is what we need to see:

• All requests being made for goods or services must be made in writing and submitted to our main office in Clayton.
• The requesting organization must be located in one of the local communities where we have a store or must have a significant number of our customers involved in their group.
• We generally like to involve our company with as many organizations as possible which means we do smaller gifts to a larger number of recipients instead of vice versa.
• We usually will limit the number of areas that we participate with a particular organization. For example, if we are donating to a school's fundraising auction, we would be less likely to donate for a parent coffee or to support their sports team.

Thank you for thinking of Straub's, hopefully these hints will help you determine the answer you are likely to receive.

To submit your request for a donation, you can mail your request to 8282 Forsyth, St. Louis, MO 63105 or fax on organization letterhead to 314.725.2123 with ATTN: Diane Cantwell.
