COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT

BROWN & CROUPPEN CARES

Every day, the team at Brown & Crouppen works hard to make our clients’ lives better. We fight to get them the justice they deserve, and we strive to help in smaller, more personal ways. We also work hard to make our communities better places to live. From Kansas City to St. Louis to Edwardsville, Illinois, our team members live and work in the same big cities and small towns as our clients.

That’s why we’re involved in cultural events like the Bosnian Summer Days Festival and PrideFest. It’s why our team runs and walks for the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure, Sista Strut, Mothers Against Drunk Driving, United Cerebral Palsy Walk With Me, and many others. It’s why we’ve built houses with Habitat for Humanity, packed and distributed meals with Food Outreach, and provided more than 200 Christmas turkeys with Solomon Temple MB Church.
