ARRG is dedicated to giving back to the St. Louis community.

For the 2010 season, ARRG is proud to offer assistance to Youth In Need. Youth In Need provides residential homes, foster care case management, homeless outreach, counseling and support groups, education and infant, child and family development to more than 10,000 children, teens and families at more than 25 sites, spanning 100-miles, in six counties in eastern Missouri. The agency is one of few programs in the nation that offers a continuum of care for children from birth to adulthood.

We are specifically raising money for the Teen Parent Program. Youth In Need’s Teen Parent Program provides individual and group support to teen parents and pregnant teens who live in Lincoln and St. Charles Counties, at no cost. The Teen Parent Program offers counseling, referrals to community services, support groups, health and nutritional services, childbirth classes, infant care education, parenting education and advocacy to its participants. After successful completion of childbirth classes, each pregnant teen will be provided with a free car seat. Car seats are required for a newborn to be discharged from the hospital. Funding in the amount of $3,500 can purchase approximately 50 infant car seats and convertible car seats for Youth In Need's Teen Parent Program.
