Sponsor a Child for Christmas Campaign Activated for 2024

Dear Christmas Shoppers,

We are elated you are excited to get rocking on early Christmas shopping for our youth at Vashti in our residential program, known as Room, Board & Watchful Oversight (RWBO). We’ve been working with our Vashti Elves to gather detailed information to make your experience this year super-duper, easy breezy. So, whether you want to donate towards our children’s needs, purchase the items we want on our amazon wish list, or go buy items for our youth in stores with money donated for that purpose, you can do it all! We want this to be a fun experience for you and for our adolescents, and a smooth experience for all. So here’s your easy button…

How to Sponsor a Child

Welcome to Vashti’s Christmas Shopping Campaign!

We’re overjoyed to have you back to shop for our children this year! And if this is your first time joining us, we’re so grateful you’ve hopped aboard this magical train of generosity. Together, let’s embark on a winter wonderland adventure to give our children the most memorable Christmas and New Year yet!

This year, our goal is to raise $7,000 for our Christmas fund to make the season truly magical for our youth.

Visit Givebutter to sponsor a child.

Ways you can make a difference:

1. Shop Using Vashti’s Donations: You can help by purchasing items from our children’s wish lists using donations we’ve already received. Contact us at donate@vashti.org to coordinate details.
2. Shop Using Your Own Means: Feel free to donate items directly from our youth’s wish lists, based on what speaks to your heart.
   • Note: To ensure fairness, we limit the spend to $300 per youth’s wish list each year for this campaign.

Additional Details

1. Purchase additional items from our Amazon Wish List to benefit our youth and programs. We need and want a lot of stuff. There is no limit for these items as they are not directly assigned to a specific child. We do ask for items for the children to use in quantities of 10 so we can divvy them up fairly. Grab a group of your co-workers to pitch in and make the magic happen. We’d appreciate the upgrades!
2. Donate Financially: Additional monetary donations support our children’s residential programs and activities.

Important Details for Shoppers:

1. Keep all receipts: We will need copies of them.
2. Bring back any change if you’re shopping on behalf of Vashti.
3. Wrap all gifts and place name tags with the child’s name on each gift before delivery to Vashti.
4. Provide a list of purchased gifts along with your contact information when turning in your receipts.
5. Upon arrival, you’ll also complete an In-Kind Donation Form to document your generous contributions.

Please bring or ship all gifts to:

A Quick Note: You may notice wish lists include over $300 worth of items. This is because other generous groups will also contribute to fulfill these wishes. Rest assured, your kindness will go a long way in making this season special for our youth.

We sincerely appreciate the time, effort, and love you pour into making this season magical for our children. Your generosity not only brightens their holidays but also fills our hearts with joy to witness the incredible care our community shares to better the lives of our children.

Warm holiday wishes,
