M1 Bank Celebrated our 7th year serving the local St. Louis community and providing housing with dignity on a national scale with the grand opening of our National Headquarter facility which now anchors the expansive M1 Campus at 7801 Forsyth Blvd, Clayton, MO.
The grand opening event was a wonderful celebration attended by team members, community leaders, partners, and friends. With excitement in the air, we welcomed guests into our state-of-the-art facility designed to foster collaboration creativity and connection.
The M1 Giving Grove
A major highlight of the evening was the introduction of our Giving Grove, located on the second floor. This interactive activity allowed guests to support local and international charities in a meaningful way. Attendees picked leaves from our “Giving Grove” Olive Tree, each representing a designated donation amount. By placing their chosen leaf in one of the charity collection boxes, M1 donated the allocated amount to that particular charity.
The charities supported through the Giving Grove include:
– The Dred Scott Heritage Foundation
– Amitsim / Shalom Jerusalem Foundation
– Civil Righteousness
– City of David
– Jewish Federation St. Louis
– Chabad Jewish Center of St. Charles
We hope everyone felt inspired to partner with one of our supported charities or commit to supporting one of their own, embarking on a new journey of mission and purpose. The Giving Grove serves as a reminder of the strength found in unity and the nourishment that comes from kindness and cooperation—principles embodied by our beautiful, millennia-old preserved Israeli Olive Tree trunk, also on display at our Des Peres location.
The Community Event Space
Our M1 community event space was fully transformed into a vintage Hollywood theater where guests enjoyed M1 Bank’s Feature Premier Presentation detailing the divine providence behind our story.
