Important Update: There has been a tremendous amount of support from donors who've requested to recieve tags to purchase gifts for our community. At this time all gift tags have been matched, however we are still working hard to recruit financial donations to meet the needs of agencies that have requested gift cards for the individuals they serve. Please consider supporting the program by making a financial donation today or hosting a special giving link at your organization.

The Impact

Shari Campbell headshot“It is amazing to see the looks on our little ones’ faces when they receive their gifts. These may be the only gifts that they will receive during the holidays, when other children are receiving so many. It is even more heartwarming to see the looks on parents’ faces when they are able to give the gifts to their children and see their joy.  This takes so much stress off of the shoulders of parents who may not otherwise be able to provide the gifts or the experience to their children.  As an Agency, it is an honor to be a part of making this happen.”

FAQs

Open AllClose All
Can we request a nonprofit to be matched with?

We will be working from mid-October through mid-November to match your request with a participating nonprofit. While we greatly encourage you to consider remaining flexbile with who you are matched with by selecting "Greatest Need", we will do our best to meet your specific requests. Please know that we cannot guarantee accommodation, especially as the season progresses and available agencies are more limited.

When will I get my gift tags?

Gift tags are expected to become available November 18-19. United Way will delivery your requested tags directly to the address you list on your survey. 

Do the gifts need to be wrapped?

Most nonprofits ask that their gifts are placed in a gift bag, instead of wrapped with wrapping paper. This allows them the opportunity to best match the gift with the individuals they serve. Specific wrapping information will be listed on each gift tag.  

What do I do when all the gifts have been purchased?

Once you are matched with your nonprofit, you will be directly connected with them via email and provided next steps. At this time, you will coordinate delivery of the gifts directly to the nonprofit (i.e. agreed upon date/time, delivery location, etc). Most gifts need to be delivered between December 9-13.
