Facilis Cares Takes Atlanta
At the 2024 Supplier Showcase in Atlanta we partnered with Ronald McDonald House Charities to make care kits for families staying at the Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta at Scottish Rite while their children receive treatment. With the help of our community we were able to create over 400 kits to make parents and siblings feel a little more comfortable while away from home. Thank you to our event sponsor and Facilis Cares Supplier Award winner S&S Activewear, and our Facilis Cares Partner Award winner Jeckil Promotions for making this event a huge success!
Every day can be Earth Day!
The St. Louis Facilisgroup team joined forces with our friends at Brand Addition for a special pre-Earth Day celebration on April 6. As part of our commitment to environmental stewardship we took part in Mission: Clean Stream, a volunteer event dedicated to cleaning up local waterways. With over 20 volunteers from Facilisgroup and Brand Addition we helped collect over 9,000 pounds of trash and debris including plastic and glass bottles, construction debris, furniture, clothing items, and more! What a great way to spend a beautiful Spring morning!
Tis the season for giving back!
Our team took part in Mission St. Louis’ Affordable Christmas to help families in need shop for Christmas presents. To kick off the event, the Facilisgroup office held a toy drive and collected over 90 toys for the event. Facilisgroup employees (and family members) helped by setting up a department store and became personal shoppers for some of the amazing event guests. What a way to kick off the holiday season!
Making a difference in Denver!
During our September 2023 Partner Summit in Denver, we partnered with Wish For Wheels, a non -profit organization to build and donate brand-new bicycles and helmets to children in need in the Denver area. Our community of Partners, Suppliers, and Facilisgroup staff had a great time working together and built 30 bikes for a group of happy second graders – GO TEAM!
Summer of Caring
Facilis Cares partnered with the St. Louis Area Foodbank during the 2023 Summer of Caring. We were able to donate 20 hours packing boxes, collect 1,189 pounds of food, and provide 974 meals to local families in need. Even some of our youngest Facilisgroup team members got in on the volunteering fun!
Helping kids learn through outdoor adventure!
During our July 2023 Partner Summit in Boston, we partnered with Thompson Island Outward Bound Education Center, a non –profit providing outdoor field trips to inner city schools in the Boston area. Their mission is to help kids learn, thrive, and grow through the challenge of adventure.
Our community of Partners, Suppliers, and Facilisgroup staff had a great time working together and prepared 200 gear packs for a local school filled with everything needed for their Thompson Island field trip adventure.
The Facilisgroup Community threw a birthday party!
At the 2023 Supplier Showcase in Dallas the Facilisgroup Community came together to make birthday party preparations for some amazing kids in need.

How Facilis Cares
Standing with Ukraine
Our community raised over $30,000 to help the people of Ukraine. Special thanks to alphabroder, Cap America, and Next Level for supplying the decorated t-shirts and caps we sold on a fundraising Commercio Pop-Up Store! The money went towards World Central Kitchen and the National Bank of Ukraine for hot meals, shelter, and other essentials. We proved that we’re stronger together!

Dress Down for Charity
The best excuse to wear sweatpants ever! In May (Mental Health Awareness Month), our team had the chance to donate $5 for a dress down day benefitting the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI). Many people chose to donate more to help a great cause and rocked their casual looks. It was a very cozy and charitable month!
