Child abuse can fracture and uproot households and put families under enormous financial stress. Central Oregon is invited to support families in crisis with gift cards for groceries, gas and basic necessities.

This year, there are two ways community members and organizations can support the Annual Gift Card Drive.

For Businesses:

KIDS Center is inviting area businesses to host a “Donation Display” that aims to collect gift cards for groceries, gas and basic necessities to be given to families whose lives have been impacted by child abuse.  Put up a giving tree, wreath, garland or counter display (KIDS Center will provide the tags, envelopes and signage), and rally your coworkers, friends, members or customers to participate!

Email givehope@kidscenter.org to have your display delivered to your workplace!

For Individuals:

Groceries, gas and household essentials are most helpful for families in crisis.  Every gift card you donate gives local children and families hope—and makes healing possible. 

While you’re out shopping, purchase gift cards to local grocery stores, gas stations or big box stores. You can mail or drop your cards off at KIDS Center – 1375 NW Kingston Ave, Bend, OR 97703
