Lead A Drive

Make a Difference!

Leading a Drive is a fun and rewarding way to support others and get friends, family, and/or colleagues involved in empowering, uplifting, and uniting the community. Become a Drive Leader and support our Holiday Wish Drive in the late fall. A Drive Leader is Family Giving Tree’s main contact and the key to each Drive’s success. 

Role of a Drive Leader

As a Drive Leader, you will…

  • Register your group for each Drive

  • Facilitate donations and participation within your group by posting wish cards in a well-traveled area or distributing them to friends and colleagues or hosting a customizable Virtual Giving Tree (VGT), or both.

  • Collect and deliver the donated gifts to Family Giving Tree’s warehouse or, if you are using the VGT, promote your VGT to fund wished-for gifts. Or do both.

  • Receive priority when signing up for Family Giving Tree's in-demand warehouse volunteer shifts.

  • Have a direct impact on your own community.

The Virtual Giving Tree

Using the Virtual Giving Tree platform, a Drive Leader can still solicit donations and "collect" donations on behalf of FGT. Through this customized giving tool you can track your progress as your team "shops" for the requested items and helps us deliver gifts that bring joy. You can also run a physical drive where you distribute unique wish cards and collect the gifts noted on the cards. Or you can do both. So no matter which way you'd like to help your community experience the wonder of the holidays, we're here for you,

Who can be a Drive Leader?  

Anyone who is part of a group—a business, school, family, social club, or friends—and wants to help children-in-need in the community can lead a Holiday Wish Drive. We work with Drive Leaders every step of the way and provide all the tools needed to make each Drive a success. All you have to do is register.
