More than $21,000 in unclaimed property gift cards will be donated to three nonprofits, Treasurer Stacy Garrity announced Monday.
Garrity says her department always tries to return unclaimed property to its rightful owners, but sometimes that’s not possible.
“I couldn’t be happier that we are turning this into something positive by making these donations to three wonderful nonprofits,” Garrity said. “Ronald McDonald House, Special Olympics Pennsylvania and Veterans Multi-Service Center all make a huge impact on the lives of Pennsylvanians every day. These organizations have touched countless lives and I am honored to be able to support their missions and the people they serve.”
Each organization will receive approximately $7,200 in gift cards.
The 53 gift cards, which are Target, Visa and MasterCard gift cards, were reported unclaimed in Montogomery and York counties. The reports came after two separate investigations into gift cards likely purchased with fraudulently obtained credit cards, which resulted in three arrests. Garrity says since there is no information on the rightful owners of these gift cards, they can be donated.
