There are many ways to donate…

Donations of goods and services are extremely valuable to us. Anything with a value is income for a charity and tax deductible for the donor.

Gift Bag Items Needed – The gift bags we give away to each individual we visit is one of our largest expenses. Our goal is to get all items for our 27,000+ gift bags donated.

All items must be brand new – no amount is too big or too small!

Charitable donations may be made by individuals or corporations.

Individuals – Volunteers, schools, Girl Scouts or Boy Scouts, religious organizations, offices, clubs, friends, and neighbors can conduct a drive and collect the multitude of items we need!

Corporations – Manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers, suppliers, merchants, or other commercial groups may donate from their inventory.

Meet some of our Partner Organizations – Collaboration plays an important role in the success of Holiday Express. In 2017 we brought the healing power of music and friendship to over 27,000 individuals thanks to the generous in-kind gifts and support of numerous businesses, restaurants, and community groups.

Our annual Clambake and Golf Outing relies heavily on donated gifts for the silent and live auctions.

Golf Outing – Golfers like to play new or select courses. Donating a foursome and lunch at your club is always an attraction and a way to meet new people. Tickets to sporting events are always very popular. They’ll get multiple bids if you can access season tickets for any sport or team.

Clambake – Bottles of wine for our popular “wine pull,” specialty items for gift baskets, restaurant gift certificates, jewelry, spa services, artwork, lessons, show tickets and many other items or ideas are great attention-getters.

Live Auctions – Trips, airfare, and use of your vacation getaway are exciting and different. When the winner gets something they couldn’t buy in the store, they feel great. They not only receive great value, but they also feel good about supporting our cause.

Silent Auctions – Guests who attend charity events always check out the auction items for something they might find appealing, and those who donate the prizes get their name recognition as supporters.
