Network of Victim Assistance announced that its annual holiday gift card program is back. In years past, NOVA worked with donors, staff and volunteers to provide gifts and gift cards to clients in need. This year, as a health and safety precaution, NOVA is requesting that people donate gift cards in lieu of an actual gift item.
Donated gift cards will enable clients in need to make their own holiday purchases. Each client selected for the holiday gift card program has been affected by crime and has been vetted by their NOVA advocate or counselor. For some, the gift cards can be used to purchase a special toy their child is hoping to receive. For others, the gift cards will be used to purchase tasty treats for their holiday meal or essential items for their household.
“Things are still difficult for many of the people we serve,” said Penny Ettinger, executive director of NOVA. “Donations of gift cards will go a long way to ease the burdens our clients and their families are facing and make their holidays extra special.”
The deadline to donate gift cards is Friday, Nov. 12. To sign up and donate a gift card(s), click here.
