Volunteer: Collect Gift Cards for Children

The children served by CASA of DuPage County have been removed from their homes, often in haste and leave behind many of their personal belongings.  In order to help bring comfort to their new surroundings, we collect gift cards for children and teens to purchase items such as personal incidentals, toiletries, clothing, or other needed items related to their everyday lives.  Gift cards give children and teens the power of choice to select what they would like.

CASA of DuPage County is looking for organizations, families or other groups to set up gift card collection programs in increments of $25 to places like Target, Walmart, Kohls, Amazon, or Meijer (or other similar stores) where children's families can purchase needed items.  

For more information, email Vicki Shaw at vicki@dupagecasa.org.
