Holiday Wish Drive FAQs
The Virtual Giving Tree (VGT) allows you to fulfill a wish online. By making a donation to support a wish, you enable FGT to bulk purchase those gifts listed on the VGT site and support running the Holiday Wish Drive.
As much as we'd love for all of the financial donations raised through the VGT to support just gifts, there would be no way for us to help the recipients we serve if we cannot use some funds to cover costs. Things like trucking, equipment rental for the Community Hub, and shipping are just a few of the necessary expenses we incur to deliver gifts. Rest assured, we pour every dollar we can into the programs that benefit our recipients, especially in a year like this. Still, there would be no way for organizations like ours to continue our efforts to serve the community without apportioning funds as we do.
Yes. You can host a VGT and share the link with family and friends. All you need to do is sign-up as a Drive Leader and request a VGT be assigned to you during that portion of registration. Upon registering you'll receive an email 2-3 days later with instructions about set-up and customization. You'll be given a unique URL and password to manage the site through January 15th.
All VGTs remain live until 9:00 PM on January 15th.
