It is Operation Wildcat’s mission to pool the resources in our community to help students and families in need. Over the past years, OW has seen an increase in needs, and with limited resources, we have revised several of our programs to ensure our ability to assist as many as possible.

All gift cards will be distributed from Kindergarten Academy. This will enable all families to "shop" for back to school items, books, clothes, etc during the Gift Box Distribution.

Gift cards are available to current MASD students and their younger family members who are not yet old enough to attend school. All recipients will receive ONE $25 gift card. Families will be able to choose from selected stores what kind of gift card they want for their child.

Project Gift Box 2026
Watch for information in mid November as to how you can sign up to donate gift cards for students. Gift cards will be collected 11/23-12/4.

Project Gift Box 2025 - Thanks

Project Gift Box 2025 was a success this year due to the generosity of so many people! We were able to fulfill 438 gift card requests to over 180 families. We appreciate all the support of the school district, volunteers, and the generous community! We had a wonderful evening distributing the gift cards and families left with warm clothing items, books, school supplies, and jackets, in addition to the gift cards. We are very grateful to all who contributed to providing for our families this year. We hope you all have a wonderful holiday and happy new year!
