(Gives back to the community): St Paul definitely helped me. About 7 yrs ago - jobs were very scarce to find and after seeing an ad on the side of a bus about hiring people with deficiencies, I contacted them (and of course provided doctor's proof) that I am tone deaf and need hearing aids to cover some normal every day sounds in which I am deaf. I qualified, and not only performed temporary jobs for them (they are fabulous employers - warm and caring about people), but one of the temporary jobs turned out to be with the State and which I just retired from a few months ago. We do check their stores for goodies as well as donations.
