Give STL Day 2025! Support Justine PETERSEN on May 8th!
Justine PETERSEN is excited to participate in Give STL Day on May 8, 2025. Give STL Day, powered by the St. Louis Community Foundation, is a remarkable opportunity to unite in generosity and make a tangible difference in our region. Since its inception in 2014, Give STL Day has raised over $30 million for more than 1,000 regional nonprofits, and this year, we aim to contribute to its success and empower our community!
At Justine PETERSEN, we believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to build a stable financial future. As a Missouri-based nonprofit, our mission is to connect low- to moderate-income individuals and families with the tools and resources they need to build credit, become homeowners, and grow small businesses.
By donating, you’re not just supporting individuals — you’re investing in lasting, community-wide change through financial empowerment, education, and opportunity.
Missouri Roofing, LLC: Building Strong Roofs and Stronger Communities
Zenon and Yolanda Gallegos, proud parents of five, are the heart behind Missouri Roofing, LLC, a family-run business celebrating 10 years of service. After seeing larger companies turn away clients in need, they set out to build something different—focused on compassion, craftsmanship, and community.

When their work truck finally gave out after 400,000+ miles, they struggled to secure financing. Multiple lenders said no—until one suggested they call Justine PETERSEN. That call changed everything. With support from JP and Client Success Counselor Jim Boyle, the Gallegos family secured a loan and got back on the road.
Missouri Roofing now continues to specialize in advanced metal roofing techniques, providing not just quality work, but peace of mind. As Zenon and Yolanda shared, “If we could do it all over again, we would’ve called JP first.”

From Vision to Victory: A Night to Remember at the North County Innovation Center
Earlier this week, the North County Innovation Center came alive with energy, dreams, and a community dedicated to making a difference. Over 100 people gathered to celebrate the graduation of our Wealth and Business Growth Group, which included eight enthusiastic Rooted graduates. Mentors, investors, friends, and family all showed their strong support for the graduates.
The evening, catered by the talented Chef Nesee, was more than just a celebration; it was a movement. Laughter, encouragement, and the strength of community echoed through the halls. Will Jordan was honored to serve as the Master of Ceremonies and also fulfilled his role as the Community Investment Manager at Justine PETERSEN.
This event was not just a graduation; it was a launch pad. Will said that, “I felt proud and humbled at the level of support from the community.”
If you felt inspired or wish you had attended, don’t miss our next event. Join us at the North County Innovation Center and become part of a growing network of entrepreneurs, investors, and change-makers dedicated to building wealth, creating legacies, and strengthening the St. Louis community.
