Organize a ‘Give for a Better Day’ Gift Drive

Give joy. Give kindness. Give hope. Host a gift drive for patients at Rogers Behavioral Health.

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.

How to host a drive:

Post a flyer of the wish list next to a drop box (barrel, box, etc.). Invite your friends or colleagues to bring in items during a designated timeframe. Have the items delivered to the Rogers’ location of your choice.
Collect cash gifts from others, and then purchase wish list items directly from the Amazon Wish List. Have the items shipped directly to the Rogers’ location of your choice. NOTE: Orders from Amazon will go to Rogers Foundation in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin unless you enter another Rogers’ address as a ship-to.
Send your friends or colleagues the link to the Amazon Wish List of your choice. Invite them to purchase items on their own and ship to your designated Rogers’ location.

Our patients have special requirements based on their behavioral health care needs. Extra caution must be used when purchasing gifts. Please consider the following:

Ages 10 years and up
All items must be new/unused
No games with themes of violence
No latex or sharp edges
