GiftCardGiver.com - A Great New Way to Help the Needy

The Gift Card industry has risen to be a 60 billion dollar industry. Ever wonder how many gift cards are unused?

More than 10%!

That means billions of dollars are waiting to be used for good on Gift Cards.

"How many gift cards do you have sitting in your wallet? We guess you have at least $5 of unused gift cards in your wallet or purse right now. What’s 5 bucks going to buy you? Five bucks in Gift Cards may buy you a pair of socks…but 10 people giving 5 bucks will buy a kid a winter coat or 1000 people giving $5 from may give that same kid a warm bedroom to sleep through the night."

It is very simple to get involved:

  • STEP 1: Use as much of your card as you want (or send a full card).
  • STEP 2: Write how much is left on your card using a permanent marker.
  • STEP 3: Place the card in an envelope and send it to us at:

Gift Card Giver
PO Box 17628
Atlanta, GA 30316

or
750 Glenwood Ave
Atlanta, GA 30316

The folks at Gift Card Giver collect and distribute the cards to appropriate Non-Profit Organizations that can use those cards to help others. This is a grass roots campaign that has created a new form of giving and you are an important piece to the idea coming to life.

Linda and I are planning to have a "CARD PARTY," where everyone gets "carded" to get into the door. Every house party is simple and you can make it unique, you can do it for a birthday party, church function, or just a fun night of games.
