The Key

“Christ has no body now but yours. No hands, no feet on earth but yours.... Yours are the hands, yours are the feet, yours are the eyes, you are his body. Christ has no body now on earth but yours.” ― Teresa of Ávila

🗝️The Key expresses our most sincere gratitude to The Hands and Feet of Jesus volunteers through Element Church in Wentzville. They called upon The Key to ask if there were any projects their volunteers could assist with to support our mission. The answer was a resounding YES!

🗝️At The Key, we can house up to 12 teenagers at one time with long-term residential and wrap-around services. When your home is filled with as many as a dozen teens at one time, maintenance projects abound:)

🗝️Thank you to these special Element Church volunteers for touring The Key to explore needs their volunteers could address; dedicating a Saturday to refreshing rooms in need of paint, wall repairs from a water leak, and deck maintenance; and pledging to come back and finish a few repairs that needed time for wall patch and paint to dry.

💖Your investment of time and talents into our mission of ending youth homelessness and preventing child abuse and neglect in Lincoln County certainly demonstrates works that reflect The Hands and Feet of Jesus.

Thank you! We are so very grateful!

With sincere gratitude and appreciation The Key thanks Abigail Beck for taking senior photos of our residents again this year!

📷Having the opportunity to be photographed, celebrated, and pampered--acknowledging how amazing high school graduation feels for a young person who has overcome so many obstacles to get to this moment--is a priceless gift.

📷Holding their senior photos in their hands and having the opportunity to see themselves the way their community sees them, well ... that's simply too difficult to properly capture.
