Help make the holidays a little brighter for those in need
NOVA, Bucks County’s comprehensive crime victim services agency, has launched its annual Holiday Gift Card Drive to help to deliver some holiday cheer to clients in need. Each holiday season, NOVA works with donors, staff and volunteers to collect gift cards for clients to help brighten their holiday season. Every person/family selected to receive a gift card has been personally affected by crime and has been vetted by NOVA advocates or counselors. This year, the need has tripled and NOVA needs the community’s support more than ever!
The gift cards will enable clients to make their own holiday purchases. For some, the gift cards will be used to purchase a special toy their child is hoping to receive. For others, the gift cards will be used to purchase groceries for a holiday meal.
“The aftermath of victimization can be especially difficult during the holidays,” said Penny Ettinger, Executive Director, NOVA. “Donations of gift cards will help to ease the financial burdens our clients are facing and allow them to focus on healing while making their holidays a little brighter.”
The deadline to donate a gift card is Wednesday, November 13. To sign up and donate a gift card, visit www.novabucks.org/holidays. In addition to signing up online, gift cards can also be mailed to or dropped off at:

2370 York Road, Suite B1
Jamison, PA 18929
Attn: Holiday Gift Program
For those mailing or dropping off gift card(s), please be sure to include the donor’s name and address so that NOVA can acknowledge their generosity.
