Community Involvement
Brown & Crouppen Cares
One of our core values is Advocacy. Our team members live and work in the communities we serve, and we believe it’s important to give back. From Kansas City to St. Louis to Edwardsville, Illinois, our team members live and work in the same big cities and small towns as our clients. That’s why our team volunteers with a variety of nonprofits and community organizations, including those highlighted below.
