We are raising money for SNAP!
We’ve set a goal to raise money for SNAP! Please consider a donation in multiples of $20 and share with your friend, every donation goes to the fund and is used to purchase a gift card on your behalf
Donate to the fund and have gift cards purchased on your behalf in multiples of $20.
Buy gift cards and drop them off at our partner’s for distribution center (Refill Madness)
Volunteer to help purchase and distribute gift cards
Three ways you can support SNAP benefits:
OPTION 1
Donate Directly to WakeUp Sonoma and have a gift card purchased on your behalf
When you donate to WakeUp Sonoma, ensure that you make a note in your transaction that you want the funds to go to “SNAP” so that we can purchase the gift card on your behalf, Every $20 donation is a new gift card in your name.
OPTION 2
Purchase and Drop off gift cards
Buy ONLY local grocery store gift cards- cards that can just be used to shop at that grocery store, like Safeway, Sonoma Market, Lucky’s, Whole Foods, etc.
*Please no AMEX or VISA gift cards
Each card must be $20. For example, if you can donate $200, buy ten $20 grocery cards (not one $200 card).
Gift cards donated through this program that go to La Luz will be incorporated into their SNAP (EBT) emergency relief program while supplies are available. La Luz may ask for proof of EBT status.
