We have come this far due to the support of our donors.
Thank you to those who took a chance on the dreams of a kid!
Individuals Supporters:
The beginning foundation of Grandmas Gifts was of individuals who were originally from Appalachia but now live all across the county. We no longer call Appalachia our home, but know that much of what we are or ever will be, we owe to the lessons learned there. In the past 15 years the network of Grandmas Gifts has grown to include people of all ages, backgrounds, beliefs, political parties, cultures, and origins. This includes residents from all 50 states, and even people from Israel, Spain, Canada, Netherlands, Portugal, India, Germany, and the Philippines. Without their empathy, trust, financial, and material support, Grandmas Gifts would not be possible!
We are always looking to expand our donor network, please contact us if you would like to become a supporter!

Clubs, Religious Sector, Libraries, Organizations, and Schools:
Since the founding of Grandmas Gifts in 1993, the support of children in schools, clubs, and religious groups have made Grandmas Gifts stronger and wiser. In todays world kids often get a bad reputation and some of us even told that we cant make a difference because of our age. Yet, if you were to meet the kids that help out Grandmas Gifts you would truly know that age does not matter, and that the bad reputation is far from true. These kids not only collect gently used books, hold bake sales, make valentines, clean parks, sell homemade book marks, hold penny drives, raffles, and donate their own baby-sitting money and allowances, but they learn how great it makes one feel to volunteer, have a little fun, meet new people, and see how one person can make a difference! They are truly wonderful.
