Network of Victim Assistance (NOVA) has announced that its annual
holiday gift card program is back. In years
past, NOVA worked with donors, staff, and volunteers to provide gifts
and gift cards to clients in need. As a
health and safety precaution, this year NOVA is again requesting that people
donate card gifts in lieu of an actual gift item.
Donated
gift cards will enable clients in need to make their own special holiday
purchases. Each client selected for the
holiday gift card program has been affected by crime and has been vetted by
their NOVA advocate or counselor.
For some, the gift cards can be used to purchase a special toy
their child is hoping to receive. For others, the gift cards will be used to
purchase tasty treats for their holiday meal or essential items for their
household.
“Things are still difficult for many of the people we serve,” said Penny Ettinger, Executive Director at NOVA. “Donations of gift cards will go a long way to ease the burdens our clients and their families are facing and make their holidays extra special.” The deadline to donate gift cards is
Friday, November 12. To sign up and donate a gift card(s), visit https://www.signupgenius.com/go/30e0d4ca8a82faaf49-novas4.
