A Gift for Change donation is a perfect way to donate to the Foundation in honor of a teacher or loved one. With as little as $10, the Gifts for Change program brings profound change to Vancouver students by providing them with basic needs such as shoes, coats and school supplies. Donations to the Gifts for Change program are perfect year-round for holidays, birthdays, anniversaries and graduations. Honorary gift cards are sent upon receipt.
