It might have been the middle of summer, but Ozark Alliance was already thinking about winter — and thanks to our community, we're ready.

The Raffle

This year's summer raffle brought in more support than we anticipated. Tickets sold quickly, prizes were generously donated by local businesses, and the energy around the event was fantastic. When the final numbers came in, we had raised enough to fully fund a winter coat drive for families in need across the Climax Springs area.

That's a big deal. Winter in the Ozarks can be harsh, and for families already stretched thin, a warm coat for their child isn't always something they can afford.

What the Funds Will Do

Every dollar raised goes directly toward purchasing new coats for children and adults in our community. We'll be distributing them ahead of the coldest months, making sure families are prepared before the temperatures drop.

We're also exploring ways to expand the drive this year — more coats, more sizes, and more families served.

Thank You to Our Donors and Sponsors

None of this is possible without the people who buy tickets, donate prizes, and spread the word. A sincere thank you to everyone who participated in this year's raffle.
