GIVING THE GIFT OF GIVING TO OUR VINAL COMMUNITY

About the Items You Can Donate

How You Can Help

We are thrilled to share that we're bringing a new holiday event to Vinal on Dec. 14th to allow Vinal students to 'shop' donated items in the Vinal cafeteria to give members of their families so they can participate in whichever gift giving tradition you and your family celebrate.

How it Works

  • Like new items are donated and collected at a few collection points (start your pile today)!

  • Children sign up for a timeslot on Dec. 14th to ‘shop’ for each member of their immediate family (one free ticket for each family member will be given)

  • On Sat, Dec. 14th from 2-5pm students can shop for each of their family members (they will get one ticket for each member of their family)

  • Children will be guided through the shopping experience with a teen or adult volunteer and get to visit the gift wrapping station before leaving with their gifts.

  • This is not a drop-off event, parents will wait in the lobby for their children

Please ensure:

  • ALL Items must be NEW or LIKE NEW

  • No stuffies/stuffed animals

  • Clothing is only accepted if it is brand new, never worn, and with tags

  • No shoes & No food please

  • No products that have been opened

  • Nothing alive (plants included) :) 

  • No need to buy anything, these should be items you already own and are ready to pass along.
