Gift Cards
Donated gift cards can help someone pay for their weekly groceries, buy toiletries, or purchase household necessities. Gift cards are a wonderful way to help an individual or family stretch their budget to cover all monthly expenses. A gift card of any amount is greatly appreciated, we but recommend $20-25 each.
We suggest gift cards from H-E-B, Home Depot, Payless, Walmart, or Target.
Workplace Giving/Matching Gifts
Numerous organizations run employee giving programs through United Way, Truist, Benevity, and others. Please check with your employer to see if this option is available. Likewise, many employers offer gift-matching opportunities. Some of the local employers that do so are 3M (through Truist) Dell, Samsung, National Instruments and IKEA. Again, please check with your employer about gift-matching. Many government agencies (at all levels of government) offer their own employee-giving programs as well.
