Opportunities for Kindness

Gifts for Grads

Social workers and counselors in our 7 high schools have identified 139 graduating seniors who, in spite of many personal and family hardships, have overcome and achieved a life goal worth celebrating. We would like to honor these students by providing each of them with a $50 gift card as a graduation gift from their community. This may be the only graduation gift they receive. If you would like to donate toward this, please CLICK HERE to visit our donation portal. Please indicate your donation is for "Gifts for Grads". Any amount is appreciated. The donation deadline is April 28. neighborhood bridges will purchase and deliver the gift cards to the schools.
