The Mount Joy Area Chamber of Commerce is once again accepting monetary and gift card donations for homeless students in the Donegal School District and their families.

Currently, 56 students in the Donegal School District are experiencing homelessness, 17 of whom are unaccompanied youth. This count does not include these students’ parents or preschool-aged siblings.

We ask that grocery store gift cards be in denominations of $5, $10, or $25 to help us easily distribute them among students and their families.

A wonderful way to purchase these gift cards is by supporting Chamber member grocery stores: The Country Store, Giant, and Hummer’s Meats. Monetary donations will be used to buy additional gift cards, which can also be used to purchase Christmas gifts and other essentials.

Every family will receive a Christmas card along with their gift cards. Families, along with the Donegal School District, have been extremely grateful for Chamber members’ donations over the past few years!

Please submit all donations by December 13. Checks may be made payable to the Mount Joy Chamber.
