Don’t Forget About Our Secret Santa! Only 1 Week Left: We Still Need 72 Items!

As you guys are grabbing Black Friday Deals left and right, please remember to think of our Secret Santa Families!  Donations are due on Friday, Dec 4th and we have 72 items that we still are looking for just to help fulfill the needs of these families. Remember, a lot of these families are really struggling to make ends meet, have lost family members recently in tragic accidents and one family even has a father with brain cancer who only has a few months to live.  Let’s try to make this Christmas the best one ever for these families!!

**If you’ve found awesome toy deals that you want to donate that aren’t on the list, PLEASE DO!  We will be donating those as well to other families in need!

And a few families, like Family #8 & Family #23 and have a lot of the items on their NEED list un-fulfilled. So I’m really hoping we can pull this off and work together!

To give you a rough idea, the list below includes things we are still in need of.  If you do decide to donate one of these items, please head over here and sign up for that item so another person doesn’t purchase the same exact thing and can donate to another family instead.

THANK YOU SO MUCH for donating and helping make Christmas a little brighter for these families!  I can’t wait to show you our Secret Santa Video showing all of the donations!

A lot of you ask if you can donate money instead and have me use that money with different deals I find.  YES, you can totally do that.  And I know a lot of you actually prefer that way because it takes less time during this busy Holiday Season.  Last year, those cash donations ended up being just enough to purchase the final things we needed and additional gift cards we were short on! Isn’t GOD Amazing???

So please know that even a few dollars for donations add up!  Just Paypal it to politis@hotmail.com and make sure you send the money “as a friend or family member” so I don’t get hit with fees. (In the notes, put that it is for Secret Santa.)

You can either mail your donations directly to me,
or purchase online and put this address as your shipping address:

Freebies2Deals Secret Santa Project
1878 W 12600 S #507
Riverton, UT 84065

…. or I will have drop off locations here in Utah that hopefully will be close enough for you to drop off.  Just shoot me an email at melea@freebies2deals.com and ask for the list of addresses.

THANK YOU EVERYONE!!!  LOVE YA! 🙂
