If you are unable to drop off your gifts or missed drop off day, your community has you covered.

My gift is late, can it still be delivered?

• Unfortuantely, no. 
• We are sorry we can't offer this service, but there is good news. 

If a gift doesn't show up

• We collect monetary donations and buy Walmart gift cards to give to recipients/families whose gifts don't arrive. 
• On average 700-1000 cards get adopted each year and 28-60 (4-6%) of the gifts or food boxes don't arrive in time for the trucks to leave.

Why we don't take late drop-offs.

• Gift recipients are from a variety of communities and mountain towns scattered across the state.
• For privacy reasons we do not have addresses for recipients.  
• Agencies and volunteers representing the recipients drive uhaul trucks to Saint Bridget on Drop Off day morning. Just after 10 a.m. we pack the gifts onto the trucks to get them back on the road as quickly as possible so the gifts can be dropped off for recipients that day. 
• Once the trucks are gone, it's both cost and time prohibitive to get trucks to turn or mail gifts.  
• We send multiple email reminders, hang signs at Masses, and try to remind people as best we can that Drop Off Day is coming up. 
   

What can I do with the gifts that are late?

• We encourage you to donate your gifts to another organization or return the gifts.
• You are welcome to make a donation to cover the next person who isn't able to drop off their gifts/food on time.

How to help us improve reminders

• We would love to get a text messaging system in place to send reminders about drop off day. 
• If you can help fund this or make this happen, we'd love to chat! Email dharms@saintbridgetchurch.org
