PHILANTHROPY
We work with purpose in the St. Louis community.
Serving Our Community
At Emerge Design Studio, we believe in doing more than hair.
We're committed to giving back to the St. Louis community: through fundraisers, donation drives, and partnerships that support those in need. Because looking your best and doing good aren't separate missions. They're both just who we are.
Beauty from the inside outFoster Together
At Emerge Design Studio, foster children and foster families hold a special place in our hearts. Foster children often face deep trauma; many are removed from their homes with nothing but a trash bag of belongings. We support these kids and their families through prayer, donations, and financial gifts. We're proud to partner with Foster Together as an Impact Partner and our own Erin Watson was a longtime board member.
We're also a donation drop-off location for Foster Together. Stop by the salon anytime to drop off items. The most-needed items can be found on their Amazon Charity Wishlist. They're also currently in great need of the following:
Toys
Twin bedding
Toddler bedding
Weighted blankets
Quilts
Pillows
Duffel bags
Gym bags
Luggage
Toothbrushes (new)
Toiletries (new)
New is preferred, gently loved is accepted. Donations may be dropped off at the salon.
Starfish Project
Emerge Design Studio sells jewelry made by survivors of human trafficking through Starfish Project, a nonprofit dedicated to their healing and empowerment. 100% of proceeds are donated to Foster Together, so every purchase supports two causes at once: survivors finding a path forward, and local foster children and families in need.
Action for Autism
Emerge Design Studio supports Action for Autism, a St. Louis organization dedicated to helping kids with autism and their families thrive. Our team attends fundraising events throughout the year and contributes through direct donations.
Community Hero Makeover
Do you know a community hero that deserves a special day of pampering? Each month, Emerge stylists choose and treat a local community hero to a full makeover. Our way of saying thank you to the people who give so much to others. Nominate a hero through the form below.
