Local Corporations Make a Difference in the Lives of Senior Adults! Senior adults who need extra help with activities of daily living are warmer this winter because of grant funding for the Warm Windows project at DuBourg House, a licensed assisted living residence on Eichelberger in the City of St. Louis next to DuBourg High School. Residents are safer, healthier, and more comfort - able than ever as a result of new, weather-proof win - dows built into resident living quarters. We are grate - ful to the three funders who have allowed this project to be more than half completed to date:

• U.S. Bancorp Foundation - U.S. Bank in St. Louis • Employee’s Community Fund of Boeing St. Louis • St. Anthony’s Charitable Foundation - Physician Ambassador’s Committee

If you are interested in sponsoring a window at DuBourg House and have your donation recognized in the lobby of the building, please contact the devel - opment office at 314-961-8000 ext. 323. Each window sponsorship is $250 with opportunities to sponsor one window, one resident room or a hallway.
