‘Tis the Season to Share Your Merry
This holiday season is the perfect time for Everyone Home DC and our amazing network of supporters to provide a little something extra for this special time of year. Everyone Home DC is committed to ensuring that the families we work alongside will have the flexibility to celebrate their winter holiday and experience the joy of giving gifts in a meaningful way. This holiday season, Everyone Home DC will distribute debit gift cards to our community, giving them the power to decide how they spend these valuable funds, however best for their families.
Based on the family size, Everyone Home DC will provide gift cards valued between $150 and $500.
We need YOUR help to reach our goal. You can make a monetary donation today here. You can also consider running a drive to collect gift cards with your favorite community or network OR set up a fundraising page and watch your social network support you in reaching your goal! Every little bit helps. Below is more information on how to get started as well as some of the most preferred gift cards. Thank you for your continued support of Everyone Home DC!
Everyone Home DC plans to distribute gift cards to families in December.
GETTING STARTED
We want to hear from you if you plan to run a drive or collection! This will support Everyone Home DC’s planning (and budgeting) efforts. Contact Kate Akalonu at akalonu@everyonehomedc.org to discuss what types of gift cards to focus on collecting and to share how many gift cards you plan to contribute. We can also provide any brainstorming support to get the word out to your community and create personalized donation forms to track your progress easily.
You can also make a monetary donation that will be used to purchase gift cards by program staff and sent electronically to families. Consider donating today!
Everyone Home DC families most appreciate Visa, Mastercard, Target, Walmart Old Navy, Amazon.
