Gift Card Drive for Teenagers
2023-12-01 - 2023-12-15
Every year the Middle School Community organizes an annual gift card drive for teeneagers. Many toy drives often underrepresent teenagers because the toys donated are more appropriate for babies, toddlers and young children. By donating gift cards, we give teenagers an opportunity to get a gift this holiday season.

Due to your tremendous generosity, last year we were able to raise $1989.76, and donated an additional $525 from our own Middle School Micro-Economy profits.

We will accept gift card donations or cash donations, which we will use to purchase gift cards to donate. We will then donate the money to Oakville Firefighters Toy Drive.

We will distribute boxes to begin collecting donations today, and will also place a box at reception. Please ensure that your gift card is labeled to show the amount on the card. We will be collecting donations up until December 15th.

Some suggestions of gift cards to donate for teenages are:

Starbucks
Tim Hortons
McDonald’s
Or other restaurants

Winners
Garage
American Eagle
Foot Locker
Gap
Banana Republic
Old Navy

Best Buy
EB Games/Gamestop
Sport Chek or other sport stores
Indigo/Chapters
Walmart
Cineplex/Film.ca

We hope to get many donations this holiday season! Bring on the Clanmore spirit!
