RESOURCES:

Lucas and Alana Rouggly moved to North St. Louis with their family 8 years ago.  Their immediate goal was to show simple actions of love to neighbors and this quickly became the heartbeat of newly formed non-profit called LOVEtheLOU.  Over the years, thousands of STL dwellers joined in this movement to bring about restoration to one of the least desirable places to live in our great city.  Lucas is driven by a passion to see our city relationally unified.  His faith in Jesus continually comes up in conversation, but his heart for serving others has helped LOVEtheLOU make a great impact in our city.
