Holiday
Gift
Drive
At ARV it has become a wonderful holiday tradition to provide a gift tailored to each of the clients we work with and present it at our end-of-year Holiday Program!
**The 2023 Holiday Gift Drive is now open!**
Whether you are a new or an existing donor, the Holiday Gift Drive is a small but meaningful way to make an impact in our community.
Like in previous years in 2023 our donors will have the opportunity to provide personalised gifts for our clients. Should you wish to be involved as a donor a volunteer, please send an email to donations@arvolunteers.org
How it works
Step 1
We allocate you a client to shop for. To assist with your shopping, we will provide a profile of the client, including their age and interests.
Step 2
Go shopping - the guide is approx. $35.
Step 3
Find a shoebox (or any box and lid), wrap it up in wrapping paper making sure to keep the lid separate, and put gifts inside.
Step 4
Step 5
Drop the box off at one of our drop-off points around Sydney.
ARV volunteers will hand the presents out at our final event of the year in December!
Gift guidelines
1.
Spend a maximum of $35 per gift. It is OK to go a little under or over, however, please try to keep it as close as possible to ensure we keep consistency across the packs
2.
Please avoid any food items (including chocolates)
3.
Please ensure the gift is interest and age-appropriate for your child (details will be provided to help guide you)
If you wish to contribute but would prefer to make a tax-deductible donation instead of buying gifts, please consider donating to ARV via: https://shoutforgood.com/australian-refugee-volunteers or send us an email to donations@arvolunteers.org
From the bottom of our hearts and on behalf of all our wonderful clients, thank you for your generosity and Happy Holidays!
