Coffee Talks

Coffee Talks at 21c is a monthly gathering designed to foster meaningful conversations around social impact, mentorship, and equity in St. Louis.

On May 28, we are proud to partner with St. Louis Area Diaper Bank, our Nonprofit of the Month, to host “Ending the Cycle – Together in St. Louis.”

This timely discussion will center on period poverty and diaper need—two critical yet often overlooked public health issues that disproportionately affect low-income families in our city. Guests will learn about the work of the St. Louis Area Diaper Bank, hear directly from community advocates, and walk away with tangible ways to make a difference. Whether through volunteerism, advocacy, or simply spreading awareness, we all have a role in helping to end the cycle.

Key Discussion Points:
• Understanding Period Poverty & Diaper Need in St. Louis
• The Link Between Basic Hygiene Access and Health Equity
• How St. Louis Area Diaper Bank Is Supporting Families
• Simple Actions That Lead to Systemic Change
• Creating Dignity and Agency Through Community Support

Whether you are an educator, parent, policymaker, or passionate community member, this Coffee Talk is an opportunity to connect, share ideas, and contribute to building a brighter future for the next generation. Join us for coffee, conversation, and a shared commitment to empowerment.
