​How You Can Help

Join one of our Facebook groups to see what's happening and where there is a need. In those working groups we try to keep our neighbors updated, point out where there is a need and provide opportunities big and small to be a good neighbor. Contribute how and whenever you like.

Most of our communication is currently on our Facebook group and the subgroups for many of the wonderful programs we have. Join the Facebook groups that interest you, or email or call the organizer to find out how you can help.
*Most of our Facebook groups are working groups for residents of Maplewood and Richmond Heights. If you are not a resident please follow our public page here.

Homebound Help

Student & Family Support

MapleGOOD started by offering services of shopping and medicine pick up and delivery for individuals who were homebound, due to COVID-19 risks, free of charge. The services expanded to supporting neighbors with affording groceries and medicine, linking neighbors to local and regional resources, and picking up and delivering food pantry items, and direct support. MapleGOOD has also helped organize birthday parades for neighbors to celebrate them, from a safe distance.

MRH Food Drive

Throughout the COVID pandemic, MapleGOOD has observed overwhelming food insecurity in our own community, as individuals and families struggle with job security and other factors. 

We’ve been very fortunate to find connections with different groups and organizations who have partnered with us in providing food that we can deliver to those in need, within Maplewood Richmond Heights.  We plan to continue doing everything we can to ensure that all of our neighbors have what they need!

MapleGOOD Masks

This VERY important group was one of our first initiatives and has contributed so much throughout this past year during COVID-19.  Since the county has been providing MANY masks for us to distribute daily, there hasn't been as great of a need for homemade masks the past few months ... though they have certainly been very well-made and beautiful!!  You can find out more about all that they've contributed this past year!

Do you know someone who needs a little extra encouragement?
Or, maybe someone who’s gone above and beyond during this COVID craziness?

This is your chance to nominate an individual (a friend, a significant other, child, parent, teacher, mentor, business owner, etc.) who deserves a little something special to let them know how much you love and appreciate them!  
Fill out the form below to tell us about your nominee.

Next, we’ll choose several winners that will receive a special ValenDINO Dance-O-Gram! 
We'll then contact the individuals who nominated the winners, to coordinate a time for their friend’s special ValenDINO Dance-O-Gram.  

The Dance-O-Gram will include a special appearance by some of the Dino Dance MapleGOODers and an exclusive dance outside the winner’s home (you can request the song). We’re happy to coordinate any additional requests, such as having our dinos deliver a gift or card from you. 

Nominations must be submitted by noon on Friday, 2/12.  
Dance-O-Grams will be scheduled for the afternoon of Valentine's Day.  â€‹

MapleGOOD Mask Design Contest

12/31/2020

 
Picture
You can draw a simple outline of a mask to draw on,  create a rectangular shape to fill in, or find blank mask templates online that can be printed out and drawn on (like this one) or you can simply draw your design on a full sheet of copy paper with no mask outline.
Before being printed on an actual mask, winning designs will need to be tweaked and edited so create them in whatever way is fun.

​Kids of all ages are invited to enter a contest to design their vision for a custom mask.
​
There are no rules or guidelines other than to create a mask that they’d like to wear, make it appropriate, and try to make it colorful. If you need an idea for inspiration, try creating a MapleGOOD mask or one depicting something you love in our MRH community.
Picture
Picture
All designs will be shared on the MapleGOOD Facebook page and then the community will get a chance to vote for their favorites.  We will award 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places in three age categories (early childhood, elementary, middle/high). First place winners from each age category will have their designs printed on an actual mask for them to wear proudly around town! ​

​Take a picture and send it to MapleGOOD Students &  Family Support at sfs@maplegood.org.
​Completed designs should be sent by January 12.
​Stay Safe and Happy Designing!
