Colleague Recognition
Congratulations to Melinda Lewis on 35 years of service!
Melinda has come a long way with Epworth, starting as a rec therapist and further advancing to many different roles. She has worked in direct care with the kids of Hudson and Shoemaker, Crisis Intervention, CIT Management, and now works as the Residential Campus Supervisor.
Melinda feels grateful to impact just one child’s life and feels most rewarded when she sees the children become productive citizens.

“I have only been with Melinda a year and a half of her 35 years, but she is one of the hardest-working, most committed, and caring people we have within the whole agency.”
Michael Panicola, Epworth President and CEO

Epworth supports the St. Louis Area Diaper Bank
The St. Louis Area Diaper Bank strives to streamline the collection and distribution of diapers to low-income families in the St. Louis region. To carry out their mission, they partner with nonprofits, like Epworth, to help families get the resources they need. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic, an Epworth diaper drive was unrealistic this year, but you can still help!
Donations can be in the form of diapers or financial contributions. To donate diapers, email info@stldiaperbank.org to schedule a time to bring the donation to their warehouse (6141 Etzel Ave.) or an ambassador location. Financial contributions can be made by clicking below.
