RECAP: Randy’s Gift Drive 2023

On behalf of our Gift Drive recipients and clients, thank you for making this holiday season special!

We are incredibly grateful to this year’s generous Gift Drive donors. Thanks to your support, we were able to give over 150 gifts to the children, youth, adults, and families participating in this year’s drive.

Our staff got to personally deliver the donated gifts to their clients this week. Gifts included toys, games, dolls, puzzles, and legos. Gifts also included gift cards to Target, Safeway, and Amazon, many of which will help families purchase essentials this season, like food, clothing, and school supplies. Thanks to you, there are smiles all around here at StarVista!

In addition, our partners at Macy’s Hillsdale hosted an incredible Client Appreciation Event for StarVista at their store. 30 StarVista clients got the experience of a lifetime! Each client was gifted a $50 Macy’s gift card to use to shop in the store before it opened that day. A big thank you Macy’s Hillsdale for making this holiday season joyful for our clients!

We would also like to thank our partners, Macy’s Hillsdale, Starbucks San Carlos Ave, and San Carlos Library for hosting our Gift Bins and for extending the opportunity for our shared community to support our clients this holiday season!
