In an effort to have a Holiday filled with fun and social responsibility you can choose gifts for your loved ones that give to others.
For example, here in our area there is a woman who makes traditional Maine Balsam Wreaths. With every wreath you buy from her, she is able to fund the cost of vitamins for a Guatemalan child for a whole year! In an area where many children and their families are battling malnutrition this is a huge help in their fight.
There are also more well known organizations like Oxfam where you can buy a wide variety of things for people in need across the globe in honor of your friend or family member. From a goat to books for a school you can help in so many ways and give a great gift at the same time.
If you take just a minute to look you can find many different ways to give a gift that benefits others in need as opposed to benefiting the lining of some CEO’s pockets!
