Bucky’s Home For the Holidays

THANK YOU to everyone who contributed to this year’s Bucky’s Home for the Holidays promotion. This year we made 56 gift bags, supporting 67 current Ballard students. Your support of our gift card program makes such a difference for families so they can make choices that are right for their holiday celebrations and needs of their family. 

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, BHS Counseling Staff, Social Worker, Front Office and Graduation Success Staff for all their time, energy and resources that made this program a success!

How It Works

• Gift Card Donations: Families & Staff are asked to purchase and donate Gift Cards to Fred Meyer, Target, Starbucks, Town & Country, Safeway or other local businesses for $10 or more. Be sure to note how much is on the Gift Card!

• Gift Card Distribution: Gift Cards will be distributed equitably in festive Bucky’s Gift Bags and handed out to families before Winter Break. All information about the families remains anonymous to the community, except for a few program leads.

Ways To Give

• Simply Drop Off Gift Cards in the Main Office. Be sure to note how much is on the Gift Card!
• OR 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 ensure that Ballard High School families who need a little help have a wonderful Holiday Season! Thank you!
