DEADLINE:
Please plan for Building Futures to receive your gift donation by Wednesday, December 11, 2024.

This holiday season, we are asking generous community members to participate by sending monetary donations. Your gifts will make the holidays warmer for your neighbors in need.

ONLINE SHOPPING “REGISTRY”

With your donation, Building Futures will purchase holiday gift cards, toys, and other holiday presents for women and children. This is preferred as it gives us the ability to get exactly what each family needs.

Give whatever feels significant for you—every amount is appreciated!

*A Note About Gift Cards

In lieu of gift cards, please consider a monetary donation so that we may purchase gift cards in bulk for the women and children we serve.

If you choose to give a gift card, please purchase in $25 increments and include the receipt with the dollar amount and authorization code, so we are protected against gift card fraud scams. Thank you for your thoughtfulness and generosity.

See how our community makes the holidays shine brighter for our neighbors!
