- Our greatest gift card needs are:
- 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. Sending gift cards cuts down on shipping costs and therefore maximizes donation dollars to spend directly on families.
- Sometimes families 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.
