Donations Sought for 2021 RazorGifts Staff Holiday Gift Program

The U of A Staff Senate is pleased to announce the RazorGifts Staff Holiday Gifting Program donation window for 2021 is open.

Employee-to-employee gifting is the basis of this rewarding and appreciated program. Staff members can all play a role in making the holidays a great time for individuals in need within our community.

The Staff Senate gifting program is designed to assist staff through the holidays by obtaining employee donated gifts and essentials for dependent children. The program is driven by employee-to-employee gifting, and the U of A is not a sponsor or participant.

DONATIONS

To make gift donations, please shop the requested items on the virtual registry on Checked Twice. You may need to set up an account and view RazorGifts 2021 Program Christmas.

Gift delivery, drop off or shipping can be arranged through program co-chair Kelly Westeen (kwestee@uark.edu). 

Those who wish to make cash donations may contact ssgifts@uark.edu for additional information. Checks can be made out to Staff Senate RazorGifts. Gift cards are also available for purchase on Checked Twice, and all cash, check and gift card donations will be used to purchase remaining items not selected from the virtual site before Dec. 10.

All gifts must be delivered by Dec. 10. Distribution of gifts will occur Dec. 13-17.

Gifts made under the Staff Holiday Gift Program are made by members of the university community to dependent children of university employees and are not gifts to the university. Staff Senate will make every effort to gift each applicant accepted into the program; however, Staff Senate cannot guarantee that every applicant will receive a gift.
