2025 BI Gift Card Drive

Building Impact Holiday Gift Card Drive

The best gift you can give youth and families this holiday season is the gift of choice.

Instead of receiving pre-selected items, families are empowered to choose what they need most—whether it’s a special gift their child has been wishing for or essential winter clothing. Your support becomes more personal, meaningful, and impactful.

Because Building Impact covers all transaction fees, 100% of every dollar you donate goes directly toward purchasing gift cards for families.

Below are just three profiles out of the hundreds of families and youth supported by our nonprofit partners. While each youth and family are unique, they share common challenges. Your donated gift card will go a long way to brighten this holiday season for a child, teen, or family facing challenges or feeling isolated this holiday season — perhaps the greatest gift is in knowing that there is someone from their community who cares!

Stand Up For Kids – National Partner

Stand Up For Kids – National Partner

Jane became homeless after her mother died when she was 14 and she was placed with an abusive uncle. Stand Up For Kids provided food, clothes, blankets, and, most importantly, reassurance that someone cared. When she discovered she was pregnant, they helped her access health care, find a job, and even bought her a train ticket to New York to start her life over. Over the last two years, Jane completely turned her life around and is now proud of the life she has built and the mother she has become. Your gift card can help young people like Jane purchase something they want or need over the holidays.

Fathers Uplift

Fathers' Uplift

Josiah began services with Fathers’ Uplift while navigating a difficult family court case and trying to maintain a presence in his children’s lives. He initially felt unprepared, undervalued, and unsure of himself as a father. Through therapy and coaching, Josiah learned to “self-parent,” manage his emotions, set goals, and engage confidently with his three children. Today, he has strong relationships with his son and daughter who live with him and is steadily building connections with his older daughter, while working two jobs—making it challenging to purchase gifts. By purchasing a gift card, you allow Josiah to provide something meaningful for his children and make the season brighter for his family.

Boston Health Care for Homeless Family Clinic

Lily endured a traumatic childhood, including the loss of her little sister and years of instability while her mother worked multiple jobs to survive. The early hardships forced Lily to drop out of school and hustle on the streets, but she is now fiercely committed to building a stable life for her own daughter. Over the past two years, she has secured housing, pursued her GED, completed job training, and is seeking employment, with support from BHCHP’s Family Team. Despite her progress, meeting basic needs remains a daily challenge, especially during the holidays. Your gift card can help moms like Lily provide essentials and create a special holiday moment for their children, bringing warmth and joy when it’s needed most.
