MISCELLANEOUS
GIFT CARDS – To Local Retailers
Because our residents have needs that do not always fit easily into any category, gift cards are a great way to help us meet their needs. A toddler with a cold who needs medicine, a man who needs steel toed boots when starting his new job, light bulbs that need to be replaced, gifts to help make a homeless child’s birthday special and many other needs that arise. Gift Cards are the perfect way to help our Homeless Neighbors in Lower Bucks County.
Suggested retailers:
- Wal-Mart, K Mart, Target, Lowes and Home Depot
Individuals, businesses and religious and civic organizations can purchase Gift Cards as a donation to the shelter. These certificates will allow us to buy supplies in bulk, utilizing our tax-free status and will be used to purchase work and school clothes, shoes, and the above needed items. This will allow the shelter to purchase the particular supplies needed at any given time, for the best possible price.
