Needs From: United Way of the Ozarks

The CASA Clubhouse serves children and families with a shower and laundry facility. Many of the children entering foster care need to wash their items and some families that come for visits do not have the ability to do laundry. We are always in need of supplies for them to get their clothing clean. *This would be a drive and the wish list is; https://a.co/eBwDyQF

The CASA Kid's clubhouse served over 1,800 children in 2024 with as a safe space when taken into care, life-skills classes, a place for birthday parties to family visits. Many of our families and children are food insecure. We would love to provide them with snacks when they are in the facility. *This would be a drive and the wish list is; https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/L6ZYIL6ZIB95?leftNavSection=Shopping&ref_=abls_lnv_sl 

The O’Reilly Center for Hope brings together multiple partner agencies in support of affordable housing and financial stability. Accessing services is frequently difficult for those living in poverty or experiencing homelessness, but a single site reduces transportation and other access barriers. The’ O’Reilly Center for Hope is a community hub focusing on improving the lives of individuals, families with children and veterans who need help to becoming housed and self-sufficient. To provide quality services for our guests, we have an ongoing need for laundry and personal hygiene supplies. Laundry and shower services are in high demand, especially during warm months, and we always welcome donations of the supplies that help us provide these services:

We prefer to have travel-sized hygiene items if possible since they will be assembled in hygiene kits by our dedicated volunteers and given to our guests, but we welcome all donations. Thank you for your help! It’s greatly appreciated!

Think Big Foundation helps keep over 1.6 million pounds of clothing and shoes out of landfills each year. Through these donations, the Foundation provides vital funding for Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Ozarks — all while supporting sustainability.

To collect and process these donations, we often rely on heavy-duty trash bags to prepare items for baling. By donating these essential supplies, you're helping us reduce operational costs and direct more funding to mentoring programs that make a lasting difference in our community.

We're asking for donations of 30–33 gallon heavy-duty trash bags that are 1.5 mil thickness, low density (ideal for strength and flexibility)

We’ll provide the t-shirts and instructions—you bring them to life by turning them into reusable bags!

There are two fun and easy ways to create the bags: sew or no-sew, so no matter your skill level, you can get involved.

These upcycled t-shirt bags will be used to encourage clothing donations and raise awareness for Think Big Foundation's mission—combining sustainability with a creative way to give back.
