3 Ways You Can Help This Holiday Season

Here are three ways you can help to make the holidays brighter for our ASK kids and families:

1. Purchase a Toy for a Child 

Help Santa get ready for the annual ASK Holiday Party on December 2nd where over 425 ASK kids, siblings and parents will attend.  Purchase a new toy that is $25-$30 in price (no stuffed animals, please) and drop off the unwrapped toy by November 28th at the ASK office (5211 West Broad Street, Suite 102).  We welcome your thoughtful gifts after that date, which we'll use for Santa's inpatient visits and to help our kids celebrate treatment milestones and birthdays throughout the year.

Not sure what to buy?  Shop our Amazon and Walmart wish lists by using the links below.  Also, our teens love gift cards! Their faces will light up when they see a $25 card to shop Target, Walmart, Amazon, Barnes & Noble or anywhere they choose with a VISA gift card.

2. Adopt-a-Family & Shop

This holiday season, ASK is planning to create joy for over 40 families of children with cancer in our community. Round up your family, friends or co-workers and help us make the wishes of an ASK family come true!  Your generous gifts will alleviate stress while providing comfort to families taking care of a child with cancer. Here's how:

• Call ASK volunteer Joyce Heyer at 804-748-3898 to adopt a family. 
  
• Joyce will begin matching families on November 10th and will provide shoppers with a wish list.
• Please deliver wrapped and labeled gifts on December 17th from 12pm to 7pm to the ASK office (5211 West Broad Street, Suite 102)

3. Don't have time to shop but want to help?

Make a holiday gift and let us do the shopping! A gift of $30 helps to buy a holiday toy for a child, $300 to adopt a family of two, $600 for a family of four and $1,000 will help us to make a mortgage payment or to pay a past due bill for a family who needs assistance.
