Caring Causes: World Vision

A new study says fewer Americans plan to spend less money on holiday gifts this year as a result of the current economic climate, but at the same time, many are less likely to give a charitable gift as a holiday present. However, more than eight out of ten (83 percent) say they’d prefer to receive a meaningful gift that would help someone else instead of a traditional gift like clothing or electronics.

“A gift given from the World Vision Gift Catalog significantly improves the life of a child or family in need by providing tools and opportunities to overcome extreme poverty, while at the same time honoring your friends and loved ones,” says Renusch. For each World Vision gift, the giver can make the donation in the name of a friend, family member, or business associate. 

Donors who order by December 17th can choose to have a card sent in honor of a loved one. Cards can also be printed or e-mailed from the website at any time to let an honoree know that something special has been done for them this Christmas.
