Bucky’s Home for the Holiday is a partnership between the Ballard High School PTSA, Ballard High School Foundation, Ballard Teen Health Center and Ballard High School Staff.
Affectionately known as “Bucky’s”, the intent of this partnership is to provide donated gift cards 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:
-
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, Safeway or other local businesses in the amount of $10 or more. Be sure to note how much is on the gift card!
-
Gift cards will be distributed equitably in festive Bucky gift bags and 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’s easy to give!
-
Simply drop off gift cards in the Main Office with Cal Hartmann or Bethany Nielcen. Please be sure to note how much is on the gift card.
-
Donate monetary gifts through The Ballard High School Foundation (Tax ID #91-1811275), which will be converted into gift cards.
