Community eGift Cards are a simple way for people and companies to “give back” and drive more business into our local stores. Custom-branded for Pleasanton, they are digital gift cards valid at any participating merchants, including restaurants, salons and spas, boutiques, sports and entertainment, hotels, etc. They are a quick and easy way to keep spending local, strengthen our local businesses, and revitalize our community.

Everyone has something to give and every act of generosity counts. On November 29, 2022, we’ll unite for a worldwide celebration of generosity. Giving Tuesday is an opportunity for people around the world to come together through generosity in all its forms by sharing acts of kindness and giving their voice, time, money, goods, and advocacy to support communities and causes.
