Local Nonprofits are Gift Cards’ Unintended Recipients | Loudoun Independent

Local Nonprofits are Gift Cards’ Unintended Recipients | Loudoun Independent: "The department holds on to cards – many of which are also seized during criminal investigations -- for at least 60 days, according to Sheriff’s Office spokesman Kraig Troxell. Over the time, if the rightful owners don’t claim them, the department then donates them to area charities.

“The state won’t take them so we give them away,” Troxell said.

This year the lucky recipients include the Salvation Army of Loudoun County, the Loudoun County Chapter of the American Red Cross and Loudoun Interfaith Relief, which provides free food and gift cards to Loudoun families in need."
