MATCHING GIFTS: Give your employer a chance to participate in your gift giving with a commitment to match your contribution. You may be able to double the impact of your gift!
AT YOUR NEXT PARTY: Ask your coworkers or friends to donate proceeds to the Care-A-Van program instead of having gifts. Kids do this also with half of the money received at their birthday parties.
If you are an employer challenge your team to match their donations in dollars or gift cards for food.
