Nov 1 - Dec 19
$130,000
This holiday season, The Compass aims to raise $130,000 through Spread The Joy to provide Walmart gift cards to clients in December.
The Compass purchases the cards in advance, so this campaign is focused on financial donations rather than donated gift cards.
Your support gives individuals and families the dignity of choosing the food, essentials and gifts that matter most to them.
Financial donations allow The Compass to purchase Walmart gift cards for the campaign in advance and provide clients with the freedom to choose what their household needs most.
It is a simple way to provide something especially meaningful during the holidays: choice.
This simple yet powerful gesture allowed families to choose the food they wanted for their holiday table and the gifts they could give their children.
