Give Back Tuesday: Gateway 180 - Homelessness Reversed
October 03, 2014
There are currently more than 1,000 homeless in the city of St. Louis. It’s hard to imagine living in a shelter and going to sleep with 100+ strangers in the room. With the colder weather approaching, it’s even harder to imagine not having a roof over your head.
Thankfully, Gateway 180 is working diligently to reverse homelessness. Not only do they provide warm beds at their emergency shelter, but they also provide supportive housing services to help these adults and families gain independence and find permanent housing.
You can help these families just by eating at Katie’s Pizza & Pasta Osteria on Tuesday, October 28. One-hundred percent of the profits from everything, and we mean everything (lunch, dinner, drinks and carryout), will be donated to Gateway 180.
Thanks to our generous customers, we’ve been able to donate a combined $6,000 to area nonprofits in the past three months! In July our guests helped us raise $2,900 for Operation Food Search. Friends of Wings received $2,200 in August. Last month we were able to donate $1,900 to Microfinancing Partners in Africa.
We truly hope you can join us to help this great charity. If you have any questions, please call us at 314.942.6555 or visit us online at http://katiespizzaandpasta.com/. For additional information about Gateway 180, please visit http://www.gateway180.org/.
It’s time to circle March 14 on your calendars! Our next Giveback Tuesday event is being held on Pi Day in celebration of pi and pizza pie. It’ll be at our Rock Hill location, and you won’t want to miss it! The profits will be donated to Project MEGSSS; its acronym stands for Mathematics for Education for Gifted Secondary School Students. This nonprofit organization inspires students in 3rd through 8th grade to think differently about mathematics and see how capable they are in the field of STEM.
Join Katie’s Pizza & Pasta Osteria at our Town & Country location on February 21st for our monthly Giveback Tuesday event. This month's proceed are going to the non-profit Stray Rescue of St. Louis, a no-kill shelter that does whatever it takes to give animals a second chance at a happy life.
When you come to our Giveback Tuesday events, you’ll enjoy delicious, handmade Italian food and make a difference in your community at the same time! Be sure to join us on January 24 for the upcoming event at our Rock Hill location! The profits will be donated to Flance Early Learning Center, a nonprofit organization that ensures students are ready for kindergarten, meaning they have the physical, intellectual, and social-emotional tools needed to succeed in school.
