Standing In the G.A.P

02/09/2026

We know every community has needs that don’t always get seen or heard.
That’s why Standing in the G.A.P. is here to be of assistance to you.

Tell us:
• How can we support you or your family?
• What resources are missing?
• What should we be working on bringing to the City of Racine?

This is a community-led movement. Your voice matters, and your input helps shape the work we do.

💜 We’re here. We’re listening. We’re ready to stand in the gap.

Although our coat drive has officially ended, we are truly blessed and grateful to still be receiving winter gear donations. To our donors…thank you for your generosity and for standing in the gap for families in need. If you know someone who could use winter gear, please contact us directly. If we have the items available, we will gladly arrange a way to get them to the person in need.

Our recent coat drive has been a true example of what happens when community shows up. With the support of our generous donors, partners, and supporters, Standing in the G.A.P. was able to collect and distribute winter coats and cold-weather essentials to four families in need through Alliance Family Services

Because of your generosity, children and families now have warm coats, hats, gloves, and winter gear to help them stay safe during the cold months. This effort was about more than warmth it was about dignity, care, and reminding families that they are not alone.

To every donor who gave, shared, or supported this coat drive: thank you. Your kindness made a direct impact, and because of you, we were able to truly fill the gap when it mattered most.

Next stop: Restoration Ministries The Gift of Christmas!

Thank you Break Through for connecting and partnering with us.

RACINE our community NEEDS YOU!
We’re pulling together in a BIG way this holiday season, and we’re asking YOU to help make an impact.

Standing in the G.A.P. is proudly partnering with Restoration Ministries, the City of Racine, Open Mynd Outreach, and Communities Uniting Power to support TWO major holiday drives:

COMMUNITY COAT DRIVE – Help Keep Families Warm

We are joining other local partners to collect new or gently used coats, hats, gloves, and scarves, boots, snow pants for children, teens, and adults.
Winter hits hard, and too many families in Racine are struggling to stay warm.
Your donation can make a real difference for a family right here in our city.

TOY DRIVE – Help Give Kids a Christmas to Remember

In partnership with Restoration Ministries, we’re supporting the collection of:
Toys, board games, dolls, action figures, remote control toys, sports equipment, and arts & crafts items.
