LindenGiving Initiative Supports Five Acres Animal Shelter
This month, the Lindenwood community will come together to support Five Acres Animal Shelter. The shelter has served St. Charles for close to 50 years and expanded to two locations in 2020.
Established in 2020, LindenGiving is a community outreach endeavor focused on serving the most essential needs of our neighbors here in St. Charles. Each initiative under the LindenGiving program aligns with a University value: excellence, dedication, integrity, creativity, teamwork.
Each initiative partners with a local non-profit organization and engages the campus community in support of the endeavor. LindenGiving is chaired by Mrs. Beverly Porter, Lindenwood University’s first lady, and led by a committee of campus leaders dedicated to serving others.
