 We offer many cancer resource books for your use in our Cancer Resources Library in The Wellness Community's Living Room at 1058 Old Des Peres Road, Saint Louis, MO 63131.
Please be sure to check your book collection at home to be sure you don't have any books that need to be returned to TWC as we have quite a few out right now. Books from our library will have a Wellness Community sticker in them and a place for the check out card.

The Cancer Support Community (CSC) is a 2010 community partner of
Lee National Denim Day, a fundraising event taking place on October 8, 2010. Denim Day has been going on for 15 years - it’s a day when thousands of companies and organizations across the country offer their staff or members a chance to wear blue jeans in exchange for a $5 donation to fight breast cancer.
As an affiliate of CSC, The Wellness Community of Greater St. Louis has the opportunity to receive significant funding for our outreach here in St. Louis as a result of contributions made during this year’s Denim Day.
If you think your company, neighborhood, school or any other group or organization would be interested in participating in this event, please contact Peggy Plont at 314-238-2000 ext. 230 or pplont@wellnesscommunitystl.org, click on the banner above, or visit http://www.denimday.com/participate.aspx to register your group online.
It’s a fun, easy way to raise money for our local programming and contribute to breast cancer research nationwide!
