The chill of the Chicago winter is undeniable, but thanks to a heartwarming partnership, over 100 local children and teens felt a little warmer this season. Youth Outreach Services (YOS) proudly joined forces with Berman Subaru of Chicago and Operation Warm for the "Subaru Loves to Help" initiative, hosting a successful coat drive that made a significant impact on the lives of youth in Chicago.
We stepped up in a big way, opening our doors as a collection point for new winter coats. Our commitment to the "Subaru Loves to Help" program shined brightly as we actively encouraged community members to contribute to this vital cause.
The response was truly inspiring! Thanks to the generosity of the community and the dedicated efforts of both YOS and Subaru, the coat drive successfully collected over 100 warm coats. These essential items will provide much-needed comfort and protection for local Chicago youth as they navigate the cold winter months.
For Youth Outreach Services, this initiative directly aligns with their mission to support and empower young people in the community. Having a warm coat can make a significant difference in a child's life, allowing them to attend school comfortably, participate in outdoor activities, and simply feel more secure during the harsh winter weather.
"Giving back to our community is at the heart of what we do, and we’re proud to make a difference one coat at a time," shared a representative from Youth Outreach Services. This sentiment perfectly encapsulates the spirit of collaboration and the desire to create positive change within the local Chicago area.
This successful coat drive is a testament to the power of partnership and the dedication of companies like us to go beyond our everyday business and actively contribute to the well-being of our community.
Youth Outreach Services extends a heartfelt thank you to Berman Subaru for their invaluable support and for embodying the true spirit of community partnership. Together, we have warmed hearts and provided essential warmth to young people facing the Chicago winter, proving that even a single coat can make a world of difference.
