Gift Drive
Gift Drive
Donations of new, unused items help equip children, teens, adults receiving care at Rogers with a variety of items to enhance their journey to recovery. Holding a gift drive at your place of work, community organization, or school is a great way to bring much-needed awareness to the cause of mental health and much-needed items for patients at Rogers.
Please let us know when you plan on holding a gift drive and which Rogers’ location you’d like to support. Direct questions to Linda Shieble in the Foundation office at linda.schieble@rogersbh.org.
Our patients have special requirements based on their behavioral health care needs. Extra caution must be used when purchasing gifts. Please consider the following:
Anyone can host a gift drive! Here are a few examples:
Coping Skills, Angel Fund, Holiday Gifts
Help fill the emotional toolkit for patients at Rogers! The use of play and games in therapy is proven to be an effective way to help cope with intense emotions and behaviors. At Rogers, patients learn how everyday items can be used as tools to calm their minds and bodies.
Wish list items include: squish balls, brain puzzles, cards, journals, mindfulness coloring books, art supplies, board games, origami books, stuffed animals, Kinetic Sand, and Silly Putty.
Gifts of clothing, school supplies, and daily necessities fulfill personal needs that can help ease some of life’s burdens.
Small things can make a big difference when all your energy is focused on getting well. Your gifts go a long way in easing stress and overcoming financial burdens that often come with being in treatment.
Help make the treatment experience more comfortable on a personal level.
Wish list items include: athletic socks and shorts, leggings, t-shirts, sweatshirts, seasonal apparel, $10 gift cards (Target, Walmart, restaurants), school supplies, backpacks, toothbrushes, stuffed animals, hair ties and accessories
The holidays can be an especially difficult time for patients at Rogers Behavioral Health due to being away from their loved ones and experiencing the challenges that come with mental health and addiction treatment.
Send a message of kindness to those who need it most! Your donation serves as a source of warmth and compassion during what can often be a lonely time of year.
Wish list items include: Art supplies, Kinetic sand, mindulness coloring books, seasonal clothing, fuzzy socks, board games, brain puzzles (Sodoku, crossword, etc.), $10 gift cards (Target, Walmart, fast food, etc.)
*PLEASE NOTE: The Foundation makes every attempt to distribute an equal amount of gifts to patients within our home-base of Wisconsin. Any unused gifts from the Holiday Drive will continue to be given to patients by their clinical team after the season is over. Donations to Rogers’ locations outside of Wisconsin will be distributed to patients under the discretion of that location’s clinical team.
