About Brace For Impact 46

Brace for Impact 46 works with partners to touch over 40,000 lives per day in Haiti and St. Louis. At Brace for IMPACT 46, they demonstrate how giving back can enrich your life every bit as much as those you serve. Their goal is to IMPACT the lives of others. 

In Haiti, they support the IDADEE Children’s Home which provides care to 41 children; including shelter, clothing, food, education, Bible education and medical care. They also help fund the IDADEE School that provides education to 400+ students and employs 44 staff. They implemented the “Breaking Bread” program, which provide a hot nutritious meal each school day to students & staff and also provides them with back pack meals for the weekend. In addition, BFI46 supports CHIDA, the Medical Center, that provides care to thousands of people in the community. The entire community development program is Haitian-led.

In North St. Louis, Brace for Impact 46 has a partnership with Tabernacle Community Development Corporation to purchase and renovate North St. Louis homes. Through these renovations, they are able to employ local contractors at a 80% minority rate and have kept 96 workers steady jobs for 5 years. They then provide these homes to families to ensure stability, which will have a large IMPACT on their children. These families enroll in the program and are provided services to retain employment, gain financial freedom and launch their children on a successful trajectory.
