Online Shopping: Do you enjoy shopping online? FFH is supported through AmazonSmile and WalMart Wish List.

 

AmazonSmile works exactly as Amazon, except that you'd use the Smile URL and then shop. You can link every purchase to FFH if you want to.

​

Walmart Wish List is a list we created to make your in-kind donation easier, just select the item(s) to add to your cart and once paid, Walmart will ship directly to us!

 

PayPal: Support FFH when you shop online with @PayPal. Set us as your favorite charity, and you can choose to donate $1 when you checkout with PayPal. Get started here:  https://www.paypal.com/us/fundraiser/charity/2272920

Ride Share Gift Cards - Uber or Lyft

​

eBay for Charity:  You can now select Foundation for the Homeless as your favorite charity.  When you sell an item on eBay, you will have an option to have a percentage of the winning bid go to FFH. 

​

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.

​​

Tributes & Bequests: You can easily make a donation in honor or memory of someone. It is a thoughtful, unique and meaningful way to celebrate someone important to you. Just click on the appropriate boxes when you make an on-line donation, or include a note with your check. We will promptly send a personalized tribute card to the person, family or organization that you indicated as a notification of your thoughtfulness.

 

Updating your will? Check with your attorney or certified financial planner about including Foundation for the Homeless in your bequests.
