Program Wish List Campaign

What is the program wish list campaign?

The program wish list campaign provides much needed items for youth and adults in different areas across Heartland Alliance without the need for in-person contact.  For this campaign, supporters’ purchase the items requested by programs and have them sent via Amazon wish list directly to the program site.

Amazon wish lists allow each Heartland Alliance program to select and receive the items specific to their participants’ needs. Items range from cleaning goods, to self-care items, cold weather accessories, and even gift cards to support daily needs in an unpredictable environment. All contributions to Heartland Alliance are tax deductible. This activity does not require any in person contact from the donor.
