Katie’s Pizza & Pasta Osteria’s next Giveback Tuesday event will take place on Tuesday, March 26, at all three locations. Funds raised from the day will be donated to local nonprofits the Alzheimer’s Association, ArchCity Defenders, and Shriners Children’s St. Louis. The funds will help these charities fulfill their missions of educating and raising awareness of Alzheimer’s, advancing the rights of communities, and providing specialty pediatric care, respectively.
Once a month, Katie’s Pizza & Pasta Osteria hosts Giveback Tuesday, where the restaurant donates 100% of the day’s profits from each of its three locations in Ballpark Village, Rock Hill, and Town and Country to three local nonprofit organizations. So far, Katie’s Pizza & Pasta Osteria has donated $419,116 to local nonprofit organizations.
The Alzheimer’s Association, established in 1980, provides care and support for those affected by Alzheimer’s and other dementias. Its Greater Missouri Chapter will use the Giveback Tuesday funds to educate and raise awareness of the disease through education programs and workshops, far-reaching campaigns, and alz.org, a vast repository of information.

ArchCity Defenders, founded in 2009, is a holistic legal advocacy organization that combats the criminalization of poverty and state violence, especially in communities of color. Funds received will go toward expanding the nonprofit’s multifaceted advocacy, organizing, litigation, and direct service work.

Since 1924, the hospital Shriners Children’s St. Louis has provided specialized pediatric care to children regardless of families’ financial status or ability to pay. Funds from the giveback event will advance the treatment of children with orthopedic needs.

Katie’s Pizza & Pasta Osteria invites patrons to dine or order curbside pickup at its Town & Country location for the Italian eatery’s Giveback Tuesday event on December 19. The proceeds from the day will go to the Saint Louis Crisis Nursery (SLCN), a St. Louis-region nonprofit committed to the prevention of child abuse and neglect and providing trauma-informed emergency intervention, 24-hour respite care, and support to families in crisis.
Twice a month, Katie’s Pizza & Pasta Osteria features a local nonprofit organization and donates 100% of profits from the entire day to the charity. So far, Katie’s Pizza & Pasta Osteria has donated $405,630 to local nonprofit organizations.
“The Saint Louis Crisis Nursery is the region’s premier child abuse and neglect agency, and we are so grateful to Katie’s Pizza and Pasta for supporting our important work!” said the Saint Louis Crisis Nursery Senior Communications Director, Jane Beckman.
The nonprofit will use funds to bolster its Crisis Care program, providing short-term crisis services, typically one to three days, for children ages birth to 12. The donation will help provide warm baths and beds, three daily meals and snacks, art and play therapy, medical exams, and more for a safe and therapeutic environment. Additional SLCN programs include a 24-hour helpline, family empowerment, community outreach, and its Latinx Outreach Program.
For more information on the SLCN programs, please visit https://www.crisisnurserykids.org/program-descriptions.
Since 1986, the SLCN has dedicated itself to keeping children safe from child abuse and neglect and has served over 135,000 children in its nearly 40 years of operation. “We prevent child abuse and neglect by supporting families before a situation can dissolve into something terrible for their children,” said Beckman. “99% of the Crisis Nursery children have not faced abuse or neglect before their families can benefit from our services.”
SLCN provides continuous care 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, serving families facing emergencies due to illness, homelessness, domestic violence, or parental stress throughout Greater St. Louis, southern Illinois, and surrounding areas.
