Of course, we can always use gift cards and gift certificates to discount stores like Wal-Mart and K-Mart. And we are always in need of certificates or coupons that we can use to entertain the kids while they're at the shelter. The children enjoy going to the movies, bowling alleys, fun parks, etc. And all that play makes for hungry mouths, so they also appreciate gift certificates to fast food or kid-friendly restaurants.
