Gratitude Baskets

Thank you to everyone who has donated or written a line of appreciation.  We are making the final push this week to complete the baskets, and have a special gift for each staff member.  As a reminder, we will have a designated place to drop off contributions during Exhibition Night on Wednesday, 11/19.

Here is how you can contribute to the gratitude baskets:

  • Donations:
    • General Donations:  Please consider non-perishable items such as individually wrapped popcorn, gummies, trail mix, chips, hot chocolate, pretzels, candy, cookies, coffee, sparkling water, tea, any other non-perishable snacks, and gift cards ($5) to Target or Starbucks.
    • Staff-Specific Donations: Please use this list of DVC staff’s favorite things: DVC Staff Favorite Things (November 2025) to send items specific to staff members. Please label the donations with the name of the staff member. 
    • Drop-Off Period: Tuesday, November 4th – Thursday, November 20th
  • Words of Appreciation:  Please consider handwriting a note of thanks or typing one digitally here: DVC Staff Appreciation Notes We will be printing these digital messages and including all words of appreciation in the baskets. Handwritten notes can be dropped off beginning on Tuesday, 11/4.

Here are some ways you can help with assembly of the baskets:
