In this issue: Subaru and Operation Warm donate coats to Youth In Need; Gateway Early Childhood Alliance and Little Bit Foundation donate thousands in supplies; and Youth In Need seeks Celebration of Youth sponsors.
More Than Just a Heartwarming Donation from Subaru and Operation Warm
A huge thanks to Lou Fusz Subaru of St. Louis and Lou Fusz Subaru O’Fallon for their recent donation of 600 brand-new winter coats! With the current freezing temperatures, it was the perfect timing for such a generous donation.
The Subaru Loves to Help initiative supports children and families in urgent need within local communities. They partnered with Operation Warm—an organization providing warmth, confidence and hope through basic need programs.
Our staff has already done an amazing job at getting these coats in the hands of families that need them, and we’re incredibly thankful for the people and organizations that make keeping our community warm a reality.



Gateway Early Childhood Alliance Partners with the Little Bit Foundation to Provide Thousands in Supplies
Last month, Gateway Early Childhood Alliance partnered with the Little Bit Foundation to donate $10,000 in supplies for families in need—including food, clothing, diapers, shoes, gloves and toiletries.
This donation has been instrumental in helping the children and families we serve every day. We are beyond grateful for the support from these organizations, and its impact is truly felt.




Celebration of Youth: Sponsor an Unforgettable Evening!
With our 39th annual Celebration of Youth quickly approaching, we’re looking for event sponsors to invest in our mission!
Friends and businesses who sponsor Celebration of Youth help us raise the funds to keep our doors open, our programs robust and our talent strong so that we can continue to serve children and families in eastern Missouri.
And with numerous benefits for each sponsor, it’s a win-win! Sponsors will enjoy seats at our gala, a preview party, on-site signage, program advertisement and much more!
