Donations Sought for 2020 RazorGifts Staff Holiday Gift Program
The University of Arkansas Staff Senate is sponsoring the RazorGifts Staff Holiday Gifting Program for 2020.
Employee-to-employee gifting is the basis of this rewarding and appreciated program. Staff members can all play a role in making the holidays a great time for individuals in need within our community.
The Staff Senate gifting program is designed to assist staff through the holidays by obtaining employee donated gifts and essentials for dependent children. The program is driven by employee-to-employee gifting, and the University of Arkansas is not a sponsor or participant.
Donations
To make gift donations, please shop the requested items on the virtual registry on Checked Twice.
Gift delivery, drop off, or shipping can be arranged through program co-chair Kelly Westeen (kwestee@uark.edu).
Those who wish to make cash donations may contact ssgifts@uark.edu for additional information. Checks can be made out to Staff Senate RazorGifts. Gift cards are also available for purchase on Checked Twice, and all cash, check, and gift card donations will be used to purchase remaining items not selected from the virtual site before Dec. 11.
All gifts must be delivered by Dec. 11. Distribution of gifts will occur Dec. 14-18.
Gifts made under the Staff Holiday Gift Program are made by members of the university community to dependent children of university employees and are not gifts to the university. Staff Senate will make every effort to gift each applicant accepted into the program; however, Staff Senate cannot guarantee that every applicant will receive a gift.
