Coming Together to Support Families in Need
At Kokesh Plumbing, giving back has always been about more than just writing a check—it’s about showing up for our neighbors when they need support the most. Recently, we were honored to be featured by First Alert 4 for serving as a drop-off location for the St. Louis Area Diaper Bank, helping address the growing diaper need affecting families across the St. Louis region.
Diaper need is a challenge many families quietly face. Diapers are not covered by SNAP or WIC benefits, and the cost adds up quickly, especially for new parents, single-parent households, and families already stretched thin. When access to basic necessities like diapers is limited, it can impact a child’s health, a caregiver’s ability to work, and overall family stability.
After opening our doors as a donation site, the response from our community was nothing short of incredible. Neighbors, customers, and local supporters stopped by with diapers, wipes, and supplies, all with the same goal: helping local babies and families stay clean, healthy, and cared for. The generosity we witnessed reinforced why we’re so proud to be rooted in Ballwin and the greater St. Louis area.
Being able to provide a convenient place for donations is just one small way we can use our space and platform to support organizations doing essential work. The St. Louis Area Diaper Bank continues to ensure families receive the supplies they need, and we’re grateful to play a role in connecting that mission with a community eager to help.
A Community That Shows Up
One of the most meaningful parts of this experience has been seeing how many people care deeply about their neighbors. From individual donations to larger contributions, every act of generosity has mattered.
We’d like to offer a special acknowledgement and thank you to Tequila Grey, Ballwin Alderwoman, who stopped by with a generous donation to support the Diaper Bank as well. Moments like this remind us how powerful it is when local leaders, businesses, and residents come together with a shared purpose.
We’re proud to be part of a community that looks out for one another, steps up when there’s a need, and proves that even small actions can make a big difference. Thank you to everyone who donated, shared the message, and helped support families during this critical time—we’re truly grateful to serve such a caring community.
