🎁🌟 Help Spread Holiday Cheer: Franklin County Guardianship Service Board's Wishlist Gift Drive! 🌟🎁

The Franklin County Guardianship Service Board (GSB) is launching our 6th Annual Holiday Wishlist gift drive, aiming to bring joy and happiness to our deserving clients during the upcoming holiday season.

Here's how you can help:

🎁 Visit our holiday Wishlist here: https://a.co/aIOiBGE and https://www.target.com/gift-registry/gift/gsbwishlist
Select a gift, big or small, and make a purchase to light up someone's holiday!

🚚 All gifts purchased through this link will be shipped directly to the GSB office, where our dedicated staff will lovingly wrap them and ensure they reach our clients in time for the holidays.

Your generosity will make a significant impact on the lives of our clients, reminding them that they are cherished and remembered during this special time of the year.

Let's spread the holiday spirit and create smiles that last a lifetime. Together, we can make this holiday season unforgettable for the clients of the GSB!

Thank you for your kindness and generosity. 🌟

The Franklin County Guardianship Service Board would like to wish everyone a happy and safe Holiday weekend.

Many of us take for granted having gifts to open on Christmas morning but most of our clients do not have this luxury. Due to your generous donations, this client is receiving a Holiday gift, which is bringing him joy that he might not otherwise receive during the Holiday season.

When the GSB social worker delivered the gift this week, our client was very excited about it, and told her he was putting his gift under his Christmas tree so he would be able to open something on Christmas morning!

Your generous donations allow for each of our clients to feel special during a time that may cause anxiety. Please keep your donations coming so we can continue to bring joy to others.
