Holiday Sharing

You may choose to sponsor a large family (3+ children) or small family (1-2 children). Some families request gift cards for each member and others will submit Wish Lists, with specific items for each family member. Plan to spend $125+ for each child in a family, plus a total of $100 of grocery cards. Individuals can join together to sponsor a family (for example, each taking one child). If a bicycle is requested, the total for that child will likely exceed $125, but you may request that another donor supply the bike.

Many of the families request bikes for their children. Locks and helmets should also be provided with each bike. You can sign-up to provide one or more bikes for a family.

Seniors and Disabled Adults receive a $50 grocery card and a $75 gift card to Target, Walmart or Amazon. Teens receive a total of $125 worth of gift cards to Target, Amazon, Walmart or other teen-friendly store/site. In addition to receiving gift cards, each Foster Teen will receive a Gift Bag stuffed with teen inspired goods (the types of items you put in a stocking). Please see the SignupGenius on the OPMH Holiday Sharing page to contribute to the gift bags..

Grocery Gift Cards (Giant, Safeway, Harris Teeter, Aldi, Lidl, and Wegmans) are needed by every family and adult. Requested cards should be in $25 or $50 denominations. Other Gift Cards (Amazon, Visa, AmEx, etc.) can be donated in any denomination.

Many families who apply for the Holiday Sharing program are not selected due to the high number of requests. Families that are not selected are invited to pick out toys from the Toy Drive Please bring unwrapped toys to the Church Office by December 8. No registration necessary, just bring your unwrapped toy to the office.
