This is a repost from previous years - Oxfam is a nonprofit organization that funds projects worldwide in an effort to end injustice of poverty. The best gift you can give this holiday season is an Oxfam animal gift. The gifts you purchase for friends, family and colleagues is an actual donation. Oxfam will apply those funds where it is needed and the person you've purchased the gift for will receive a vibrant card. Your gift will bring attention to this worthy cause, put a smile on someones face and benefit those who are less fortunate. This innovative, charitable concept is brilliant. I would love to receive a card with a cute, baby chick that says, "I Bought A Dozen Chicks For You". A donation made in my honor is the best present. Oxfam gifts has an extensive catalog of charitable gifts that you can choose from. There are animal, sustainable, water, women and children, education, making a living and emergency necessities gifts. The animal gifts range from $25 to $300 for a tribe of goats. When you choose your gift you have the option to print your own card (download a PDF), eCard (sent via email) or no card. The picture above shows how the printed card will appear. I like to email the cards. The thoughtful designs are well done, colorful and informative. I hope you give or receive an Oxfam animal gift this year. We've all struggled one way or another these past few years - We need to take care of each other and every kind gesture, big or small, counts.
