GIFT CARDS FOR GUNS
Making Cambridge
A Safer Community For EVeryone
Since 2015, Many Helping Hands 365 has helped lead Gift Cards for Guns – Safer Homes, Safer Community, a grassroots effort to make Cambridge a safer community for everyone. Together with 60+ community and faith-based organizations we help people people to turn in unwanted and unsecured guns in homes, especially where they pose a serious risk of harm to children, anyone with serious mental illness or at risk of suicide, and anyone at risk of domestic violence.
There are no questions asked and no IDs required.
In exhange we give grocery and gift cards in exchange for any guns or ammunition turned in, including BB and pellet guns.
More than 500 guns have been collected in Cambridge and destroyed in the past 9 years.
Trade guns for grocery gift cards! Unwanted and unsecured guns in homes increase the risks of suicide, accidental discharge, domestic violence and street crime.
