Provide Gift Cards for Youth and Families

Gift cards are given to youth and families by our team members, as needed, based on qualifying circumstances and verifications (food security, work, housing, medical, personal emergency, etc.) or leveraged by staff to provide resources to those we serve in the community. You can help raise hope for the youth and families we serve today by providing gift cards to be distributed.

Below is a list of most-needed gift cards:

  • Restaurants: $5-$50 Subway, Chipotle, Panera, Jimmy John’s, or other fast food gift cards
  • Grocery stores: $5-$100 Walmart, Kroger, Giant Eagle, Aldi, or Target gift cards
  • Gas: $20-$100 for any major gas station chain with local locations, such as Shell, BP, Circle K, Marathon, Mobil, Speedway, GetGo, Sunoco, Exxon, etc.

Start a donation drive

Gathering your people together, whether it be your company, family, friends, advocacy group, class/school, place of worship, or community group, can make a huge collective impact for the youth and families in our community.

You have the power to turn your next get together into an opportunity to celebrate The Buckeye Ranch’s mission and help youth and families in our community. There are countless ideas to get individuals excited about giving, such as a competition drive, a ‘fill the bus’ challenge, a walk for a cause, a holiday drive, and more.

Please reach out to our Development team at development@buckeyeranch.org, with any and all ideas and to coordinate your drive and delivery.

We recommend choosing 2-3 of the below commonly needed items by youth and families to focus on for your activity. This helps maximize the impact of your efforts by concentrating on enough of an item to serve a wide range of youth and families in our care. To ensure the health and safety of those we serve, we can only accept new items.

See below for a list of commonly requested items by youth and families:

  • Hygiene Products (toothpaste, deodorant, soap, Black haircare products)
  • Bedding (Sheets, Comforters, Pillows, Pillowcases)
  • Backpacks
  • Games, books, toys, and stuffed animals
  • Blankets
  • Fidget toys (putty, spinners, etc.)
  • Bath towels and washcloths
  • Clothing, including socks and undergarments (boys and girls, ages 3-18; teen sizes are requested most frequently)
  • Household or kitchen items (Lamps, Curtains, Toasters, Blenders, Pots/Pans, Utensils, Silverware Trays, etc.)
