PROP Holiday Program

PROP’S Holiday Program provides $30 Target gift cards to seniors and families with kids. PROP clients love this program which empowers them to be able to share the joy of giving by shopping for their own gifts.

RESPOND by November 30 in the following ways:

• Purchase Gift Card Online and have it sent directly to PROP.
• Buy a $30 Target Gift Card and drop it in the marked box in the Immanuel office during business hours. 

• Make a financial donation to Immanuel and we will purchase the gifts cards.  Checks to Immanuel with “PROP Cards” in the memo.
