How many gift cards do you have sitting in your wallet? We guess you have at least $5 of unused gift cards right now.  What’s 5 bucks going to buy you?  Maybe a pair of socks…but 10 people giving 5 bucks will buy a kid a winter coat, or 1000 people giving $5 may give that same kid a warm bedroom to sleep in through the night.

Gift Card Giver is a new form of giving. They collect and distribute the cards to appropriate Non-Profit Organizations that can use those cards to help others. It’s a grass roots campaign that has created a new form of giving and you are an important piece to the idea coming to life. To learn more about the organization, visit Gift Card Giver>>
