Want to help support a family or youth on our waitlist while we find the perfect volunteer? Because matching is dependent upon the flow of volunteers, as well as the fact that we match intentionally according to location, etc., it is possible for a youth or family to remain on our waitlist for some time. Our Waitlist Liaison works hard to stay abreast of what is happening in their lives, and often a meal or gift card for gas or emergent needs (new placements, etc.) can really make a difference! Below is a list of stores, fast food, & activities that we have found are the most helpful in supporting our waitlisted families and youth until we can match them with their Love Box™ group or Dare to Dream™ mentor.
Please email digital/e-gift cards to [email protected]. Physical gift cards can be sent to Bakersfield Angels, 8200 Stockdale Hwy, Ste. M10-261, Bakersfield, CA 93311.
