Set up a tree at your church, school, or place of business. We'll supply you with a set of Angel cards to hang on your tree. People can pick up a card, buy the gift, and return them to your tree. You can call us at any time to pick up gifts from your location.
- Each card will have a senior's name and a few needs for Christmas, for example a size XL sweater.
- The back of each card will have instructions for where, when, and how to return the gift.
- Gifts need to have the angel card attached to the gift (either taped or tied).
- Gifts will be returned unwrapped.
We will give you as many or as few cards as you want. A public location may need 100 cards, and a small office may need 10.
Want to host Collection Drive?
Collection drives are a great way to have your office or business come together to collect specific items that will be included in gifts that go to seniors. These can be just for your employees, or open to the public!
These items may include:
- Socks
- Blankets
- Large print puzzle books
- Toiletry items
- Nightgowns
