Holiday Gifts That Keep Charities in Mind

The holidays are often a season for giving, not just to friends and family but also to people in need. Whether you give a donation to a nonprofit in a friend's name or pick up a trinket crafted by artisans working in developing economies, there are no shortages of options for the shopper in search of a present that has a social impact. We ask this year that you also give a gift that supports a charity as well.

Tackitt Family Vineyards is owned by a retired naval officer and his family. A line of EODwines are available at Tackitt Family Vineyard, including Basic Blaster Red and Det Cord White. A portion of the proceeds go to the EOD Warrior Foundation, that honors fallen EOD warriors and provides assistance to wounded EOD warriors and the families of wounded and fallen EOD personnel.

World Vision - ( Gift Catalog)-

This African Soapstone Box is a great gift.  This ornate hand-carved soapstone box is etched and designed by local artisans in Kenya. Using this sustainable resource these artisans are lifting themselves and their families out of poverty.
