AVS GIFT CARD/FOOD DRIVE
AVS Gift Card/Food Drive
This year we are modifying our food drive to meet the needs of our families in need. Rather than
the traditional “bring what you have” model, we are hoping to provide an opportunity for our
families to purchase the specific items they need including perishable items. Below are several
options for people who would like to donate:
Option 1: Donate gift cards to grocery stores (Food Max, Safeway, Target, Walmart, etc.) ranging
from $5 and up.
Option 2: Send in cash donations for our staff to purchase gift cards at grocery stores. We can
accept cash or checks (payable to: Nadia Podesto).
Option 3: Purchase items off of the list below to donate to families. Bring items to the 4th grade
classroom by Wednesday, December 20th.
