57th MO Governor Michael L. Parson/First Lady Teresa Parson
During my years as the 57th Governor of Missouri, I often noticed that there were hardworking Missourians struggling to make ends meet due to unexpected financial setbacks such as medical expenses, childcare, home repairs, automobile breakdowns—the list could go on. Unfortunately, their circumstances would often affect their job performance and attendance for a period of time. These individuals do not qualify for state or federal assistance and are the frontline employees who keep our economy strong. In order to strengthen our state’s workforce, The 57 Foundation was founded to assist these Missourians. As a continuation of the public service that Teresa and I shared throughout our years in Jefferson City, along with our focus on keeping Missouri’s workforce strong, this nonprofit, nonpartisan organization provides essential support to those who have a particular need, even though they are steadily employed. The resources provided by this 501(c)(3) are made possible by donors across the state.
The 57 Foundation will keep hardworking Missourians employed during their short-term hardship. For more information about the Foundation, email info@57-foundation.org. If you wish to donate, send a check payable to The 57 Foundation, Inc. at P.O. Box 567, Bolivar, MO 65613. All donations are tax deductible, and receipts will be issued to you for your contributions. Your participation will be instrumental in helping so many Missourians.
As Teresa and I continue our public service for our fellow Missourians, we would like to personally thank you for your contribution to the 57 Foundation.
May God bless you, may God bless the great state of Missouri, and may God continue to bless the United States of America.
Sincerely,
Michael L. Parson
57th Governor of Missouri
