Community Partners
As a 501(c)(3) organization, STE is eligible for contributions from a number of retail partners in the Houston community. That means trips to the grocery store and qualified purchases at participating retailers can produce sizable contributions to St. Thomas’ – at no additional cost to you! Please join the many St. Thomas’ families and friends whose participation in these programs has already raised thousands of dollars for our school. Anyone (friends, family, grandparents, neighbors, etc) can take advantages of these programs to benefit STE.
SchoolHouse Partners
STE is partnered with a locally owned and operated business called SchoolHouse Partners. SchoolHouse Partners' mission is to connect people to qualified, pre-screened household service providers (landscaping, pest control, plumbing, carpet cleaning etc.) and to fund public and private schools at the same time. There is no fee to use this service... if you do choose to use this service, you get a discount on services provided that you wouldn't receive if you called the provider directly. PLUS, 20% of what SchoolHouse Partners earns from billed and collected invoices will be given back to STE. Just remember to mention STE when you call. In short, STE makes money while you save money.
