They’re Counting on Us: A Gift Card Drive That Changes Lives

Right now, a young person in our community is making an impossible choice: buy groceries or replace worn-out shoes for their job interview. Purchase the hygiene products they need or save money for the bus to school.

These shouldn’t be the decisions our youth have to make alone.

MTM Foundation’s Gift Card Drive isn’t just about cards—it’s about wrapping dignity, hope, and possibility into something a young person can hold in their hands. It’s about telling them: You matter. We see you. You’re not alone.

💳 Why This Matters

When you give a gift card, you’re giving so much more than purchasing power. You’re giving:

Choice. The profound respect of letting someone decide what they need most—whether that’s a warm meal, interview clothes, or school supplies.

Dignity. No explaining. No proving worthiness. Just the simple grace of meeting their own needs on their own terms.

Breath. That moment when crisis doesn’t mean catastrophe—when they can solve their own emergency and keep moving forward.

Belief. A tangible reminder that strangers care, that their community hasn’t forgotten them, that their future matters to people they’ve never even met.

Target. Walmart. Amazon. Meijer. Your local restaurant. Every card—$10, $25, $50—becomes a bridge between struggle and stability.

💙 You Have the Power to Change Someone’s Day—Maybe Even Their Life

Imagine being the reason a young person eats dinner tonight. The reason they walk into school with confidence. The reason they don’t give up.

That’s what your gift card can do.

Our youth are resilient. They’re working hard. They’re dreaming big. They just need to know their community has their back.

📢 Share this message. Talk about it. Act on it. Together, we can show every young person in our programs that they’re worth investing in.

Because hope isn’t just a feeling—sometimes it comes in the form of a gift card and a community that refuses to look away.
