Grandma's Gifts

Grandma's Gifts is an incorporated, non-profit organization started by Emily Elizabeth Douglas in 1993 at age 11, in memory of her grandmother.

The organization provides goods and services to impoverished children and their families while focusing on Appalachian areas of the United States.

Since its inception, Grandma's Gifts has raised over USD 12 million worth of goods and services[1] while never paying its volunteers.

Remembering the difficulties of being impoverished, she gave back to her community whenever she could while teaching her children and grandchildren the importance of giving.

[4][5] Since its inception, Grandma's Gifts has raised and distributed over 12.5 million dollars worth of goods and services to children and their families.
