Time again for the Annual Gift Card Drive. This is an EASY way to give to truly needy Families that can't otherwise provide for their children.

The Problem:

LOTS of Families (with Children) in need in our State. Way more than we can all help, but with a combination of efforts, we can help some.

I am asking for donations again this year (However big or small) in order to buy WalMart gift cards to give to needy Families. Amounts are based on 2 things: 1) How much we collect and 2) How many children we are able to help.

I am also asking for Families to be submitted if you PERSONALLY know them. I want these to go to the appropriate people.

The Solution:

SEND MONEY! Simple as that...I will take the total amount donated by December 14th and purchase and mail out cards on December 15th so that there is time for the parents to purchase Christmas Gifts for the Children that would otherwise not be able to do so. IF YOU CAN'T DONATE, HELP SPREAD THE WORD, THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WHO WOULD DONATE IF THEY KNEW THAT THE MONEY WENT DIRECTLY TO FAMILIES IN NEED. I am posting this on another Forum (OK Firearms) to try and increase donations - maybe you know of another forum to spread the word? Facebook is also a great avenue for awareness...

Please Paypal any amount that you are comfortable with to:

[email protected]


If you need to send a check please PM for my address.




In advance, THANK YOU to the ones that can help, it truly makes a HUGE difference to the kids.

Thanks Kevin.

If anyone heard the stories from families that I have received over the years then it would be a RUSH to give. These are really hurting Families with Parents that simply can't afford ANYTHING and we get to DIRECTLY help them at a time that matters for their Children.


In years past, I am able to average $40-$55 per child depending on donations and children (EX> Family of 3 would get a 3 cards for the amount) That amount allows children to get a bicycle or clothes or literally "blow" it on multiple toys.

I had one story last year where the daughter (10yo IIRC) that bought a coat for herself and her Mom since neither had one.

Let's go OSA! Every dollar is going to help a child have a Merry Christmas! Just think about the impact we would have as a group. Every dollar adds up.
