Why should I include a grocery gift card?
When we started this campaign in 2016, it became obvious to us that seniors with lower incomes struggle with the cost of groceries. They can usually only afford the basics, and rarely can they afford fresh fruit and vegetables. Even a gift card valued at $20 can buy a good amount of groceries from a budget-friendly grocery store.
What stores do you recommend the gift card come from?
We recommend that gift cards come from the Wholesale Club, Freshco or Walmart. These are typically places that seniors can easily get to by bus or on foot. Please also enclose the activation receipt, if you have it.
Can I include a personal card?
Yes, absolutely! In fact, this campaign is as much about creating special connections than the actual gift item. We encourage personal messages.
Can I remain anonymous?
This is completely up to you. We encourage you to add a personal message with your gift box; however you can choose whether or not to sign the card.
