Joining Hands For Joy!
United for a reason - to bring joy this holiday season!
A Drive Leader is Family Giving Tree’s primary contact and the key to each Drive’s success.
Through your drive, you can collect wished-for gifts, host a Virtual Giving Tree (VGT), which allows folks to easily grant a wish (or two, or three) online, or do a combination of both! Either way, you'll be helping thousands of children, families, seniors, and those transitioning from homelessness experience the joy of the holidays.
Who can be a Drive Leader?
Anyone who is part of a group—a business, school, family, social club, or friends—and wants to help students in the community — can lead a Drive. We work with Drive Leaders at every step and provide all the tools needed to make each Drive a success.
Role of a Drive Leader
As a Drive Leader, you will…
- Register your group for each Drive.
- Facilitate donations and participation within your group by posting backpack tags in a well-traveled area, distributing them to friends and colleagues, hosting a customizable Virtual Giving Tree (VGT), or both.
- Collect and deliver the gifts to Family Giving Tree’s Community Hub or, if you are using the VGT, promote your VGT to fund gifts purchased by FGT. Or do both
- Receive priority when signing up for Family Giving Tree's in-demand warehouse volunteer shifts.
- Have a direct impact on your community.
