Give Big for Kids!

Posted on April 28, 2020April 28, 2020 by Mindy DeCosse

Please help Hope & The Holidays meet our goal of raising $3,800 during Give BIG Gallatin Valley April 30 through May 1st.

Did you know that in 2019 we helped provided Christmas gifts to 1,379 kids in 529 families and gave out 322 food baskets. Even though we get toys, books and games donated to us at Christmas time, we purchase a lot of toys with money we raise throughout the year. Our goal of $3,800 is about 10% of what we spent on toys last year.

If you’re able, we would greatly appreciate a donation. Just $5 gets a book into the hands of a kid at Christmas. $150 provides a family with two kids a complete Christmas package from us including the food basket. Visit https://www.givebiggv.org/organizations/hope-the-holidays to donate to a child’s Christmas experience.

Throughout the 24 hour period of Give BIG, Thursday, April 30th starting at 6pm to Friday, May 1th at 6pm, your donation has opportunity to have an extra $50 to $1,000 added to it. The prizes are awarded for various different things like the first 10 donations made after 7:00am on May 1st, 1 randomly selected donor who gives between 7-9 pm on April 30th., and the small nonprofit with the most unique donors . To check out the whole list of prizes visit https://www.givebiggv.org/prizes.
