It's our responsibility to build where we live.

Our Mission

Donté's Gift Express®, founded by Donté Gibbs, a proud East Cleveland native and Shaw High School alum unwraps the joy of family during the holiday season by surprising families of East Cleveland, Ohio with gifts and handwritten notes.

We’re a team of friends and fellow East Cleveland natives who believe it is our responsibility to build where we live. We aim to promote the value of family, as it often gets lost during the holiday season.

Since 2013, we have raised over $185,000 and delivered gifts to over 6,000 homes in East Cleveland. We have welcomed over 48,000 visitors to our Family Fun Days. Each year, we corral volunteers from all parts of the Northeast Ohio region to take part in our annual community initiative.
