New Home Team Fund

In 2022, The Little Bit Foundation was displaced from our headquarters in Brentwood due to extreme flooding. Following two years in a temporary space, a search for a new home, purchase of a building and necessary renovations, we will move into our new headquarters in Maryland Heights in the fall of 2024.

Through the New Home Team Fund, we are seeking to raise funds to help offset the costs of the building and our second move in two years. Your contribution to this fund will ensure that Little Bit can continue to focus on providing help and hope for the 17,000+ students we serve and expand our reach to more under-resourced communities. THANK YOU!
