Gift Givers Anonymous started 5 years ago as an opportunity for one person to give gifts anonymously to others as a personal way of spreading some small acts of kindness in the world. It has grown into so much more!

Description

The history of Gift Givers Anonymous began 5 years ago as a very small project and was originally just one person gifting others anonymously in order to simply spread some small acts of kindness in the world, and hopefully, in the process, inspire others to join me The excitement and interest others have shown in the project have confirmed the belief that spreading positive energy in the community creates positive energy within one’s self and in others. The project has grown and flourished as new avenues and opportunities continue to open up. In reaching out about the project everyone has been so encouraging in keeping it going. Last year it grew so much that we needed assistance in packing and wrapping gifts. A local senior apartment complex allowed us to come in and use their facility for wrapping gifts. We held a “gift packaging party” and 12 people showed up to help wrap and package gifts to be donated to the community. All ages were there at the party from ages 10 to 82! A few weeks later, 5 people showed up to play the role of “Christmas Gift Givers” and help gift the community anonymously. We randomly picked strangers off the street and gifted them as a way to spread some Christmas cheer throughout the community. Each gift comes with a card that describes the project and encourages them to keep the gift of kindness going. This year yet another avenue opened up. We are now able to collaborate with several local estate sale companies. These estate sale organizations gifted us what was left from their sales and from there the idea of establishing a year long non profit clearinghouse emerged! These collaborative relationships allowed us not only to collect items for the Christmas Gift Giving Project but to establish the GGA non profit clearinghouse. The clearinghouse allows us to gift the community all year long. This year long giving will help small, non profits in need of household supplies, more easily receive those items they need to allow them to continue their work in the community. The idea of giving all year long developed from our collaborations with the estate sale organizations. As a result we have already established connections with 4 small non profit organizations serving the Albuquerque community. We are in process of establishing a permanent clearinghouse of "in Kind" donations that are gifted directly to those families and organizations in need. Stay tuned as things progress on this front!
