Kids' Holiday Program & Senior Giving Tree
Updated: Nov 16, 2020
Recreated for 2020, the Kids' Holiday and Senior Giving Tree Programs collect and distribute $25 merchant gift cards to Helpline House households.
What๐
There are very few gifts, if any, when a household is trying to make ends meet. We hope this holiday gift program gives clients the freedom to choose and spark imagination. As you can tell, this year's holiday program is designed to support our local merchants, keep everyone safe, and ignite curiosity in the eyes of those who need it the most.ย
When๐
These upcoming special winter programs will be distributing your in-kind donations to children and seniors visiting the curbside food bank starting the second week of December for two weeks. Donations are gratefully accepted weekday mornings from 9 to 11 am, except Wednesdays. Find a list of suggestions atย helplinehouse.org/kids-holiday-program
Why๐
Your holiday donation from local merchants will support local businesses, local children, and seniors 65+ years young that need it the most! If you can, please donate a holiday in-kind $25 gift card(s) from a local business. We will distribute them to children under 18 years old and seniors 65+ years young.ย
Ready? Get set. Go! ๐
Visit an Island business: Calico Cat, Eagle Harbor Book Store, Ace Hardware, Rite Aid, or local grocery stores to pick up a $25 gift card and deliver to Helpline House during donation mornings; weekday mornings 9 to 11 am, except Wednesdays.
Share, Connect, Launch๐
This request is community-wide, so please share with your neighborhood, book club, walking group, and others you want to call to action. Gather (virtually) and work together for a Healthy & Whole Community now until December 7. Thank you in advance for inspiring Island neighbors to make this a successful launch for local children and seniors.
