Creative Gifts for Friends and Family

Looking for the perfect gift? Consider giving something that will help working families in our community.

The following options come with a lovely note card for the recipient acknowledging the gift.

Meds for Grandma
$35 buys a prescription for one elderly person. Fixed incomes are a struggle to live on -- try it in a tight rental market! Men and women are forced to make tough choices on expenses. Your gift will allow them to get healthy and still keep the roof over their head.

Camp for a Kid
$75 provides the opportunity for a less fortunate child to attend day camp for 3 days this summer. Camp is a place where a kid can really be a kid and provides children with meaningful experiences and lifelong lessons in friendship and cooperation.

A Week at Home
$250 will purchase a weeks rent and utilities in a modest two-bedroom apartment. This benefits a low-income working, disabled or elderly family facing a financial crisis. Your gift provides essential help for families facing sudden illness, a death in the family or other emergencies.
