Let's raise some points, everyone!
That is awesome news!

YES - you can donate gift card codes that you won or earned too. We'll match them by 50%, just like the Points (which are essentially like gift card codes too.) Yay, the boss is awesome!
Yay!

I've decided to do a Thank You list on this thread, on Friday, for all the people who donate points - so make sure you include your screen name in your Points email to me

I actually already contacted EF about it since $200 could just go a lot further than one family. It was suggested that I bring it up to the community to gain some feedback.
Just like Sir said, I'm all for it! Help as many people as possible? Definitely!

This is so great--I'm going to get to emailing soon.
I am ALSO in San Antonio, so it means a lot to me to know that this project is going towards my own community. I'm sure we all can say this, but it means a lot because I know the economic climate and I've seen how badly it can get here in SA for low income families.
Thanks for doing this, EF.

Oops, hehe. I guess I should have read through the rest of the thread before getting all excited and posting my enthusiasm for the idea of taking on a second family. I am seriously pumped about helping these fine people have a wonderful Thanksgiving with their families! What's better than that? I submit nothing does!

If you wanna donate more than what you have right now, go to the forums and start posting like crazy, go to the search box and start searching for different items, compare items, add stuff to your wishlist, do stuff here on eden and you can easily rack up 5-6 bucks by the 4th. It may only seem like a little bit of money, and you may wonder how that could help, but just donate it. It helps. Who knows, maybe the family can be fed on the $300, but what if the total wound up being $303.47? Your 3-5 bucks, hell even a $1 donation, can help and can be a huge difference.

Thank you Eden, you make me proud to be a part of this site

When we cash in points, do we have to use them all at once? I've been using my gift cards (we just got an order and had a "TOY SPREE" last night) and haven't actually cashed any points in yet. I would be happy to contribute. What happens to your points if you don't use them as soon as you cash them in? I'm a little confused.

Can I just "cash in" the amount I want to give? That would work well, if it can be done.

I don't see a problem with that, you are generating a gift card when you turn your points in. Just turn in the amount you wish to redeem and send Victoria the gift card code and amount.

Once you "cash" them in, you get a code that works like a gift card code. SO, you choose the amount you want to donate, cash them in, and send me the code. It's that easy.

We'll be checking the codes, tallying the amounts, and deactivating the codes on Friday.

One more day for raising points (well, actually, as long as I have them by Friday morning, we're cool)...so please keep it in mind!

And don't be afraid to bump this thread and give your fellow contributors here a nudge

What's so great about this is that even if we all only donate a moderate amount, our donations will most definitely add up to a LOT.

Buuuump! There is still time to donate! Any amount of Eden Points helps, and gift cards count too!

Just send them to me by tomorrow morning

I will post a list of everyone who helped mid-day tomorrow, including a special thank you to the top donors.

Do we send them to your e-mail address or do we message you on Eden?

I'm afraid that I barely have anything to give, as I'm new here. But I'm giving every point I have, and as few as they are, I hope they help add up.

Seeing how many people are donating just warms my heart and makes me obscenely proud to be a part of such an amazing community. Seriously.
