Every wishlist matched. Every gift accounted for.
Adopt-a-Family, Giving Tree, back-to-school, and more. Families share wishlists. Sponsors pick a family. You run drop-off and pickup without a master spreadsheet.
Before Advocate.
- Three volunteers edit the same wishlist spreadsheet at once.
- Sponsors email to ask which family is theirs and what coat size to buy.
- Someone prints gift tags by hand the night before drop-off.
