Don’t Panic—Great Gifts in a Minute!

It’s crunch time!

Do you still have people to buy Christmas presents for?

Likely they are people who “already have everything” or “really don’t want anything.”

I’ve got the perfect solution.

Give them something heartwarming that they don’t have to store, use, clean or display.

Give them an alternative gift.

• Give a woman in Burundi fabric and thread for $20.
• Buy fresh fruit for a store owner in the Dominican Republic for $75.
• Provide 10 sacks of wheat for $40 so women in India can make bread.

Hope International offers you all these options and more to help fledgling entrepreneurs around the world become self-sufficient. You can print a gift card for that hard-to-buy-for person and they can feel pleased that someone else benefits from their gift.

You can also find alternative gift catalogs with:

• Compassion International
• World Vision
• World Relief
• Heifer International
• Habitat for Humanity
• Mennonite Central Committee
• Operation Smile
• International Justice Mission

And if you live in Lancaster County you can still give a gift through Gifts That Give Hope’s online catalog to 30 nonprofits headquartered in Lancaster County.

Give the gift of music or dental care or books. Give someone counseling to turn their life around or prenatal care to protect a new life.

You can find something for everyone on that list.

You’ll be done. But your gift will have a lasting impact.

Have a blessed Christmas. After all:

It’s more blessed to give than to receive.
