I want to personalize fast food gift cards to give to homeless with O'liely's face on them
With a big red slash across his crying face and a "Support our Vets" somewhere on them. Anyone know how I could do this without having to pay $5.95 per card?

1. I have really mixed feelings about that.
Do we really need to exploit the homeless by turning them into advertisements for our causes?

Why not just give them a gift card, and have other people who want to get that message out do it, or at least give them a choice of that one or a generic one?

Something about the thought of taking advantage of people who are desperate for your own ulterior purposes - disguised as charity - makes me cringe. It's not really "free choice" in those circumstances to help you spread your message, you know?

4. Not much better, but a little
http://www.cardways.com

$4.50 per gift card, upload your own photo.

If you are doing a large run, you could possibly get a discount, but I'm guessing that you have to call on a sales person to see what the discount is.

Try writing the VP Sales of a "shop blue" fast food emporium.

They might do it for the publicity and make the cards free of charge.
