Wow oh WOW! We're so grateful to everyone who contributed to the holiday gift drive we participated in this year! We helped make three incredibly deserving families’ holidays extra special.

23 individual donations with a total of $1,510 purchased:

33+ clothing items
100+ pokemon cards
650+ legos
an art set, a bathrobe, slippers, a pillow, blankets, diapers, baby wipes, board games, a makeup kit, sensory toys, chapsticks, barbies, headphones, a backpack, snow pants, socks, lotions, and SO MUCH MORE!!!
due to your overwhelming generosity, we were able to give visa gift cards to each family to help with everyday necessities

Our trusty Gravitate elves used your generous donations and notes from the families to find the perfect gifts for each person. It was an adventure hunting down specific items the last week before the holidays but it was worth all the effort! Pokemon legos, girl-sized bathrobes, and plush blankets were nearly impossible to find last minute!

This included:

Seven Target pick-up orders
Four shipped orders (sold out in-store)
Nine total visits to Target! (sheesh!)
One three-hour trip to Old Navy (we were there for so long that we formed lifelong friendships with the Old Navy team)
13 visits to the store overall

After the shopping adventure, we decided we are never going to Target ever again (kidding, but maybe give it a month). We would like to thank the incredible retail employees who were working extra hard and extra long hours during this season—especially when the severe weather arrived last week. Everyone we interacted with was so kind and helpful.

We dropped the gifts off last week and the families were overjoyed and so grateful, see a text exchange from one of the moms below:

We did not have much time to snag many photos of the gifts and hauls, but there are a few highlights below.

Thank you Gravitate for your generous and loving hearts—helping our community.
