Gift Cards

We give our guests gift cards (anywhere from $10-25 dollars) when they come to check into our house. Many of our patients follow a strict diet when they stay with us and these gift cards help ensure they can get the food they need.

Gift cards to:

  • Local restaurants such as Bearded Pig BarBq, Mission BBQ, Mambos Cuban Bistro, Soulfood Bistro, and Tazikis, are healthy takeout opportunities for our guests!

  • Grocery stores like Publix, Winn-Dixie, Wal-Mart, and Target.

  • Office supply stores for our staff office/ guest business office to Office Depot and Office Max.

    *Gift cards are also great items to consider when doing a supply drive as we are always in need of them!
