$3.1 million spent on meeting students' needs in Missouri in 2025-26
June 11 | Green Team
Because of your generosity, we've had one of our most impactful years yet!
You can help a child succeed.
Student success starts with the little things: A full stomach. Clean clothes. A pair of eyeglasses. When these simple needs are met, they make a world of difference to a child in need.
Our Mission
To meet children’s emergent health, hunger, and hygiene needs so they can succeed in school.
The Power of One Moment
At Care to Learn, we know small moments of kindness matter. They help children feel hopeful, excited, and proud because they don’t have to worry about going without.
Join us as we support schools across the state of Missouri and show every child that school is a place where they can truly belong.
