A Holiday Giving Challenge for the Legacy House
This holiday season, join us in spreading comfort, care, and community through The Gift of Home campaign — a friendly giving challenge among Great Falls Clinic and Hospital team members to support the Legacy House.
Beginning November through the end of the year, departments can earn points by donating essential items, giving through payroll deduction, or contributing financially to help keep the Legacy House warm and welcoming for families receiving care.
Donations can be dropped off under the holiday tree at the Legacy House or sent directly via our Amazon Wish List —teams are encouraged to capture a photo at drop-off to show their holiday spirit!
How to Participate
• Gather Your Team – Work together to collect items or plan ways to give. (Multiple departments can partner together)
• Choose How to Give:
• Drop Off Donations under the Gift of Home Tree
• Send Items via Amazon Wish List to the Legacy House (make sure your name/dept is on the gift receipt to receive credit or shoot us an email)
• Make a cash/check or online donation to the Legacy Foundation
• Sign Up for Payroll Deduction through UKG or increase your existing contribution
• Take a Team Photo – Each department that delivers donations or volunteers can snap a picture to share their impact.
• Win the Challenge!
- Giving Tree Trophy – The department with the most points wins a prize and recognition for their generosity. This award will receive the Giving Tree Trophy which will travel around year over year.
- Spirit Award – Goes to the department with the most festive/creative department photo submitted with their donation. This award will receive a framed certificate.
