Vision & Mission

Rooted in Kindness. Driven by Community.

Our Vision

At the Buchheit Foundation, we envision a St. Louis community where generosity, compassion, and connection create joy for those who need it most—all year long.

Through our signature holiday and summer events, along with ongoing charitable efforts, we work to build a culture of giving that brings together families, businesses, and individuals in support of meaningful local causes.

Our vision is simple:
🎁 Every child has a toy to unwrap.
🥫 Every family has a warm meal.
💛 Every person feels the love and support of their community.

Together, we’re creating a brighter, more compassionate future—one act of kindness at a time.

Our Mission

The Buchheit Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting local families and charities in the greater St. Louis area. We bring people together through two major giving events each year—one in the summer and one during the holiday season—to raise essential donations and build meaningful connections.

Through these events, we aim to:

• Support Local Charities by donating toys, food, hygiene items, books, and funds
• Inspire Community Involvement through open-invite gatherings and volunteer opportunities
• Make Giving Easy, Accessible, and Fun so more people feel empowered to help
• Create Year-Round Impact that reaches beyond the holidays

We believe giving back should be joyful, inclusive, and lasting. That’s why every donation, every volunteer, and every act of support helps us make a real difference—right here at home.
