Exchange Your Canned Goods for Schlafly Beer to Help St. Louis Area Foodbank

2 years 6 months ago

There’s something called a win-win situation, and it’s happening now until November 30 because of Schlafly Beer.

The company’s “Cans for Cans” program returns this year, where individuals can drop off two non-perishable canned goods to three Schlafly locations —- Schlafly Bottleworks  (7260 Southwest Avenue; 314-241-2337), Schlafly Bankside (920 S Main Street, St Charles; 314-241-2337) or the Schlafly Tap Room (2100 Locust Street; 314-241-2337) —- and receive a free can of Schlafly beer.

One can of beer is redeemable per two cans of food, so guests can donate up to twelve canned goods and receive six cans of beer per visit. You’ll need your ID in order to prove you’re 21, but other than that, you just need your donation.

“The Cans for Cans program has been an annual initiative at our brewpubs for 5 years, and the St. Louis community always shows up,” founding brewer Stephen Hale says in a statement.…

2 years 6 months ago

Tower Grove Neighborhoods CDC continues to make energy efficiency improvements on select properties, thanks to a U.S. Bank Foundation grant, Ameren, and Spire rebates.

Improvements at a four family building in Tower Grove South neighborhood at 3606-08 Bamberger were completed in the fall of 2021. Improvements included Energy Star rated windows, faucet and shower aerators, LED light bulbs, high efficiency gas furnaces and central air conditioning. The project is anticipated to produce annual savings of $414 on natural gas and $635 on electric. These are savings generated for the tenants.  Other anticipated benefits include improved indoor air quality, greater comfort, less drafts, reduced maintenance calls, and peace of mind.

We are grateful to U.S. Bank Foundation, Ameren, and Spire for supporting this project! Learn more about the opportunities from Ameren and Spire for your own properties!
