The Power of Gift Cards 
Every year, families in need request gift cards — yet these meaningful gifts are often the last to be donated. Many people wonder why families ask for gift cards instead of specific presents.

The answer is simple: flexibility and dignity.
Gift cards allow parents to purchase the essentials their families truly need — which can change between when requests are made in early October and when gifts are distributed in December. They also offer something special that many take for granted: the joy of choosing for themselves. For a teen, that might mean visiting a shoe store with their family, trying on sneakers, and picking out the perfect pair — an experience that brings confidence and happiness.

Though they may seem less personal, gift cards are deeply meaningful. They give families empowerment, independence, and joy. Please consider donating a gift card through our online platform this season — and make it personal by including a kind message or holiday
card.

Thank you all for your generosity this Christmas season!
