Thank you so much for your amazingly generous donation to our Book Fairy program. Because of your generosity, 33 children were able to shop their local book fairs to grow their home libraries, practice consumer skills, and experience a sense of equity with their peers. The students are so excited to be gifted with Book Fairy magic, and we appreciate your support in treating impoverished children to the memorable extras that make learning fun.
Kate O'Neal President, The Caring Link
Your partnership this spring has been such a blessing. Thank you for collecting all those stuffed Easter Eggs and for the funds collected in the cafe via your round up program. We are honored to be a CARES partner and look forward to continued opportunities to work together to support families caring for vulnerable children!

Since 2014, Yulista has provided school supplies and backpacks to the Calista Region in Alaska and to Madison County here in Alabama. Our goal this year was to provide 1000 backpacks; we met our goal of donating 500 to Alaska and 500 to schools and agencies in Madison County. One of those local agencies was the National Children’s Advocacy Center. We were excited to deliver the backpacks and hope that this small donation will make a difference for the children in our communities. ⠀ #YulistaCares #NCAC

Today we celebrate the progress made in women's rights, the work that still needs to be done, and the importance of a society where gender equality is fully realized. When one wins, we all win. Also, this group is traveling today to deliver the last of the backpacks to 7 schools in Alaskan villages. Let's wish them safe travels! Follow along with Yulista's IG stories as Marketing Specialist Crystal Bailey shares some behind-the-scenes moments this coming week. #TeamYulista #WomensEqualityDay #Equality #backpackcampaign2023 #YulistaCARES #YCBC23

#YulistaCARES showed up and glowed up for the @DRMHuntsville Glow Run 5k on March 2nd! Our Glow Run team was one of the largest at the event, over 25 strong full of CARES members and their families. In addition to being a Glow Runner event sponsor, the CARES team also raised $125. Some walked, some ran, but overall it was a fun night or everyone to come together to support the Downtown Rescue Mission goal to help those in need overcome hunger, homelessness, addiction, and abuse.
