Winter Coat Drive

Warm Your Neighbors It's cold out there! While many of us take things like coats, hats, and scarves for granted, not everyone can afford to bundle up in the winter. For those of us that can, it can be wonderful to help those in need. We want to help our residents help one another, so this year, we are collecting coats, gloves, hats, and scarves to give to residents who need them. We will be giving coats and cold weather gear to your neighbors in need and donating anything that is leftover to Unit 4's Warm-A-Kid Coat Drive or to Salt and Light. If you would like to donate coats, gloves, scarves, or hats you can bring them to our leasing office at 211 W. Springfield Avenue . Please donate clean items that are in good condition. Are You or a Member of Your Family in Need of a Coat? If you or anyone in your family needs cold-weather gear, fill out this form We will try our best to match you up with any donated items we receive in your size. We have some sweaters, scarves, and coats in the office at the moment that need a good home!

'Tis the Season to Help Our Community

.blog a { text-decoration:none; color:#fb6c30; } .blog { font-size: 14px; } .blog h4 { padding-bottom: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; } Why Our Residents are THE BEST Over the years we have been blown away by the generosity of our residents. Every November you donate a mountain of toys to Toys for Tots , piles of cards for senior citizens living in care facilities, and when we asked you to sew masks for C-U Public Health, Christie Clinic, and Carle Foundation Hospital you delivered ! Since we know our residents are so giving, we want to help provide as many opportunities to support our community as we can. Our Rent Credits Fundraiser is Back Last year we decided to give every resident the opportunity to participate in C-U at Home's annual fundraiser, One Winter Night, by offering $25 to either take as a credit towards rent or donate to C-U at Home and have us match it. We raised $15,650 for C-U at Home and gave $5,850 to residents . It was incredible witnessing the generosity of our residents, so we've decided to do it again! One Winter Night Each February One Winter Night provides an opportunity for our community to learn about homelessness, raise awareness for our friends without an address, and experience a bit of what it might be like to be outside, overnight, in the coldest part of a Central Illinois winter. Participants commit to spending 12 hours outside in a cardboard box in downtown Champaign on the first Friday in February, as well as raising at least $1,000 to help C-U at Home continue doing all they do to help our community throughout the year. How You Can Help If you are a Royse + Brinkmeyer resident, fill out this form to claim your credit and tell us whether you want to take the credit or donate it to C-U at Home. If you donate your credit to C-U at Home, we''ll match it. That's $50 towards supporting the most vulnerable in our community! If every Royse + Brinkmeyer resident donates, we will have helped fund a $75,000 donation to reduce homelessness! If you aren't a R+B resident and want to donate, or just want to donate more than your credit, you can donate directly to C-U at Home here . Our Interview with C-U at Home Our Director of Property Management sits down with Rob Dalhaus III, Director of Development and Community Outreach for C-U at Home, to discuss C-U at Home's mission, impact, and how we're partnering to support the homeless in Champaign-Urbana.

That's A Lot of Toys!

Each year the Toys for Tots program collects new and unwrapped toys and delivers them to underprivileged children. In 2020 the program distributed 53,509 toys to 5,544 children in Champaign County alone. Our residents blow us away every year by donating more and more toys for underprivileged kids. This year was no exception, we were amazed to see the MOUNTAIN of donations that were packed up and given to the Salvation Army to deliver by Christmas. We counted 411 toys! We are so proud of our community for coming together and showing such generosity to those in need. It warms our hearts every year. As a thank you, we raffled off one month of free rent and $100 in R+B@Home Services . And our winners are....
