We want to ensure that no child or youth at Brightpoint goes without a gift this holiday season. Click on a link below to purchase an item from an Amazon wish list. Most gifts are between $20-$30 each. The gift will be shipped directly to our staff who will arrange delivery with caretakers.
For individuals ages 13-18 who have outgrown toys, but still appreciate surprises. Teens love to pick out their own clothing, sports equipment, art supplies or self-care items via a $25 Amazon gift card. This is an area where we especially need support!
In order to ensure gifts are received by families before the holidays, the deadline to purchase is December 16th!
