DCYF is what some states call their Social Services department. Scalp is a term meaning to try and make a profit off of selling something for cash, such as tickets to a sold out event, which usually means they’ll ask for more than its value. In this case, she’s more likely to ask for exactly $50 or less, since obviously there’s no upside to paying more for it.
Social/Children’s Services, basically. Stands for “Department of Children, Youth, and Families.” It’s what some New England states call this department. My state calls their DSHS (Department of Social and Health Services (Kinda confusing since there is a separate Department of Health)).
And Grumbel’s is a department store; clothing isn’t the only thing they sell. She could stock up on school/office supplies, storage bins, get new bedding or a small appliance.
Marla should have pointed her towards the Teen Apparel department. Even if she didn’t buy anything, she might find somebody there she could sell the gift card to somebody for $30 in cash
