The best way to spread Christmas perfection
is hosting an OHH gift card collection!
When we serve families and single service members all over the country at Christmas time, gift cards are the most helpful donation we receive.
Why gift cards?

- The most common wishes we see through this program are for help with items that are sometimes best chosen and purchased by families on their own:
- gas
- groceries
- clothing & shoes
- household goods and toiletries
- furniture
- baby items
- Midway through our season's efforts, we start to focus on families who have applied for assistance from all over the country. We find that sending assistance in the form of gift cards cuts down on shipping costs and therefore maximizes donation dollars to spend directly on families.
- Right up until Christmas day families reach out to us for help. Sometimes, the folks who hesitate the longest are those who need help the most. Gift cards, e-gift cards and online donations allow us to email or fedex out help right up until Christmas day no matter where families are located.
