CSL’s 2025 #GIVINGTUESDAY campaign is raising funds for our Cold Weather Shelter. CSL, through emergency motel stays, is making sure our neighbors have a safe and warm place to sleep overnight. Additionally, those accessing emergency shelter will connect with a CSL outreach case manager that will help them access longer-term sheltering/housing options, along with providing basic needs like food and personal hygiene items.

For #GIVINGTUESDAY this year, the City of Independence will match up to $18,000 of gifts donated to CSL for our Cold Weather Shelter!

Every gift to CSL on Tuesday, December 4, 2025, will be matched dollar for dollar, up to $18,000.
