Dignity Village Gift Card Drive
The ACCYF Youth Advocacy Committee and Dignity Village have come together to start a gift card drive for the holiday season. The partnership's goal is to bring more joy to the Dignity Village residents during this festive time of year.
The holiday season is often difficult for those experiencing hardships, and small gestures like a gift card to choose something needed and something out of reach for residents make a difference. Our goal is to raise funds and collect gift cards for the residents so that they can celebrate during the winter season as a members of our community.
To make this initiative successful, we rely heavily on the generosity of our community to make the holiday season feel a little warmer. ACCYF and Dignity Village rely on your support to make this possible!
You can make a monetary donation that will go towards the purchases of gift cards here.
To send gift cards, mail or drop them off to 950 West Mall Square, Suite 205, 94501, ATTN: Gabriella San Diego, Community Engagement Specialist. We request that the gift cards are a minimum of $25 (any amount is appreciated), and are from stores that are easily accessed by Dignity Village residents at Alameda Landing like:
