Essex High School is holding its fifth-annual gift card fundraiser to help support some of our families with accessing essential goods, such as clothing, for the cold winter months in Vermont.
This can be a hard time of year for families and we recognize that it may not be possible for some families to donate at this time.
If it is within your means, please consider purchasing a gift card to donate to support students and families this winter.
What type of gift card would work best?
A gift card to a store that sells a variety of goods can be optimal to support families with accessing essentials such as food and clothing. Target and Walmart have been cited as preferences in the past, and please know that any gift card is welcome and appreciated.
Where to bring them?
Gift cards can be dropped off at the Essex High School Safety Office (located just inside the first door of the main entrance) or can be mailed to Essex High School Counseling Office, ATTN: Allie Short, 2 Educational Drive, Essex Junction, Vermont 05452 from now until the end of the school day on January 19, 2024. Our EHS Student Assistance Program Coordinator/Counselor will confidentially coordinate assistance to EHS students and families in need.
This fundraising effort has been successful in the past in providing much-needed essentials to students and families- in one past school year more than 30 students benefited from your donations! Thank you for your generosity in past years and thanks for considering your fellow EHS families throughout the next few weeks!
