Shop2Help Oakland Gift Card Program – Supporting Small Businesses and the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank

All gift cards purchased through the Shop2Help Oakland program will receive an additional $10 for every $25 spent – a 40% bonus. That means that all gift cards are sold in $35 increments only. Choose from any of the twenty Oakland small businesses participating in this year’s program from the list below! And don’t forget that for every gift card you buy through this program, the business you’re supporting will donate 25 meals to the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank!

Mix-and-match to support all of your favorite places! And don’t hesitate to buy multiple from one business to really stack up your savings (For example, four gift cards for $100 will get you $140 to spend at your favorite restaurant. Ten gift cards for $250 will get you $350 to spend at the salon, optician, or pharmacy, etc.)

In light of the rapid spread of the omicron variant through the region, as of January 1, 2022, this program has been extended through March 31, 2022!

This incentives for this program are funded by a grant from the Richard King Mellon Foundation, and the program was extended in 2022 thanks to generous support from Dollar Bank this year. And thanks goes out to the staff at Oakland Business Improvement District, all of our Oakland small business owners and their staff, and our community partners for their hard work in making this program possible.
