🌟 An Invitation to Community
Right now, access to reproductive care is under threat in Missouri. Too many people – especially young people, rural women, and low-income families – are facing impossible barriers to birth control, cancer screenings, STI testing, and other essential health services. This lack of access has far reaching implications on future fertility, economic independence, and long-term health. Everyone deserves the freedom to decide if, when, and under what circumstances to become pregnant.
At Beacon Reproductive Health Network, we believe healthcare is the foundation for opportunity. And we’re not alone. In a world that feels increasingly divided, it turns out most Missourians (83%) agree that everyone should have access to all types of birth control.
When people have the freedom to make informed decisions about their bodies, they can pursue education, maintain employment, and achieve stability for their families – allowing them to reach the futures they envision.
For more than 40 years, Beacon has operated behind the scenes to ensure and expand reproductive care. In 2024 alone, our network of 52 clinics provided care for more than 45,000 Missourians.
We’re ready to bring our work into the light. And we need you.
✨ Your Gift, Your Impact
Strengthening Missouri’s reproductive healthcare safety net has never been more important. Your support will have an immediate impact:
$50 covers a cervical cancer screening for a patient who otherwise couldn’t afford it
$100 supports training for local health providers to deliver compassionate, high-quality care
$250 supports training for local health providers to deliver compassionate, high-quality care
$500 strengthens our statewide advocacy to protect Medicaid and ensure affordable birth control for all
Together, small acts of generosity add up to life-changing impact.
🎯 Our Goal: $5,000
We’re building a community of 100 donors who believe in reproductive freedom for every Missourian. With your help, we can raise $5,000 this Give STL Day to ensure no one loses access to the care they need.
Will you be one of the 100?
