Donté's Gift Express®, founded by Donté Gibbs, is an annual event celebrating Christmas by giving back to those in need. Dontè is a proud East Cleveland native and Shaw High School alum who unwraps the joy of family during the holiday season by surprising families of East Cleveland, Ohio, with gifts and handwritten notes.
Over time, Dontè has assembled a team of friends and fellow East Cleveland natives who believe it is their responsibility to build where they live. The overall message to be shared is the value of family.
Since 2013, Dontè’s Gift Express has raised nearly $43,000 and delivered gifts to over 3,000 homes in East Cleveland.
MyCom is a proud annual supporter and sponsor of the event.
MyCom will enact our mission with race and equality at the forefront of our work as we always have. We will use our thought-leadership, funding, advocacy, and network to redesign service delivery. Together we will rethink infrastructure and create solutions that eliminate access to healthcare, cyclical poverty, access to quality education, housing stability, and other barriers that have impacted black lives.
