Huge thank you to all of our toy drive drop off locations: Southwest Missouri Bank, Tropical Tan, Nothing Bundt Cakes, Leesman Agency - Farmers, Webb City Area Chamber of Commerce, Joplin Area Chamber of Commerce, U.S. Bank, Union Station Deli & Club Car Pub, Revive IV & Wellness Lounge, who stepped up, said yes, and made it easy for our community to show up for kids. You kept the boxes full, spread the word, and helped turn generosity into action. We could not do this without you.

And a special shoutout to Zips Car Wash for donating premium car washes for our final push. Because who does not love helping kids and driving away with a clean car? Your support gave this last stretch some extra fuel, and we are so grateful.

Community like this is everything. Thank you for showing up for our Club kids in a big way.

‼️UPDATE‼️Thanks to some VERY generous supporters, we have met and exceeded our gift card goal! The teens will be excited to have many options. Thank you!!

❗HELP❗ Our teens normally take home gift cards for Christmas, and this year we are VERY short. Generous donors have dropped off many, but we need 40 more $10 gift cards to cover our youth ages 13 and up.
These gift cards can be a variety of things. Fast-food restaurants, coffee shops, Walmart, Target, Xbox, etc. Can you, your business, or anyone you know help us secure 40 $10 gift cards this holiday season? 💙🙏🎁

🎉Happy Birthday to the incredible Site Coordinator at our WC Junior High Site! Five years of showing up for our kids, leading with heart, and keeping the chaos organized deserves a big celebration. We are lucky to have you, John, and even luckier that our Jr High kids get you every day. 💙

Today, we are incredibly thankful to Kohl’s for awarding us a Kohl's Cares Shopping Grant, which allows our team to purchase much-needed items for each of our Club sites and our Toy drive. These are the everyday essentials that keep our spaces running smoothly and ready to serve kids and families day in and day out.

Being able to walk the store and intentionally shop for what each site truly needs is a big deal. This support helps us stay focused on what matters most, creating safe, welcoming spaces where kids can learn, grow, and thrive.

Thank you, Kohl's , for investing in our Club and making a real, tangible impact across all our sites. Today’s shopping trip is powered by gratitude and good stewardship. 💙
