Bucky’s Home For the Holidays
Consider brightening the holiday season for Ballard HS families in need with a donation of a Gift Card!
Bucky’s Ballard High School Home for the Holidays is a partnership between the Ballard HS PTSA, the Ballard High School Foundation, the BHS Teen Health Center, and Ballard High School Staff.
Affectionately known as “Bucky’s”, the intent of this partnership is to provide donated Gift Cards that will be given to Ballard High School community families in need of financial assistance, to help with food and household essentials during the two week Winter Break. The Gift Cards help ease holiday stress by allowing families to choose culturally appropriate food and gifts however they celebrate the season.
Here’s how Bucky’s Home for the Holidays works:
- Gift Card Donations: The BHS PTSA is kindly asking for donations of Gift Cards. Families and staff are asked to purchase and donate a variety of gift cards to Fred Meyer, Target, Starbucks, Town & Country (Ballard Market), Safeway and other local businesses in the amount of $10 or more by Friday, December 8, 2023. ~ Be sure to note how much is on the Gift Card!
- Gift Card Distribution: Gift Certificates will be distributed equitably in festive Bucky gift bags and will be handed out to families before winter break. All information about the families will remain anonymous to the community, except for a few program leads.
It is easy to give:
- Simply drop off Gift Cards in the Main Office with Cal Hartmann or Bethany Nielcen. By DeBe sure amount of the Gift Card is noted.
- Donate Monetary Gifts through The Ballard High School Foundation a 501(c)(3) non profit organization; Tax ID #91-1811275, which will be converted into Gift Cards.
Your gift will help assure that Ballard High School families who need a little help have a wonderful holiday season!
