Network of Victim Assistance announced its annual holiday gift program will be a gift card drive for 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In years’ past, NOVA supporters, board members and staff adopted clients and purchased gifts for them from their wish lists. This year, NOVA is asking for donations of gift cards to help clients in need so that they can make their own special holiday purchases. For some, the cards will be used to purchase a special toy their child is hoping to receive under the tree. For others, the cards will be used to purchase tasty treats for their holiday meal or essential items for their household.
“The pandemic has made things more difficult for many of the people we serve,” said Penny Ettinger, executive director at NOVA. “So, this year we decided to pivot and have a gift card drive to help our clients and their families during the holiday season.”
The deadline to donate gift cards is Friday, Nov. 13. To sign up and donate a gift card(s), go to conta.cc/2IbeNI2, where you can also view a video put together by members of NOVA’s counseling staff explaining how donations can help to make a difference for someone in need this holiday season.
