The giving season isn’t just about exchanging gifts with friends and family, or watching your kids eagerly check the contents of their stockings to see what Santa brought them. While the holidays are the perfect time to share presents with the people that you love, this time of year also provides a great opportunity to give back to your community and your world.
Purchase alternative gifts for your friends and family. Does your mother already have everything her heart desires? No problem—get her a cow instead. Many charitable groups, such as Heifer and Oxfam America, offer unique giving opportunities that let you purchase farm animals, educational supplies, or other life-enhancing tools for people in developing nations on behalf of your loved ones.
If you’re not sure whether a charitable donation will make the right holiday gift, read this article for tips on when to give a charitable gift. For a free $10 gift card that can be used to donate to any US-based nonprofit, email give@razoo.com with "Intent" in the heading (valid while supplies last).
So what are you going to do this Holiday season to give back?
I am melting. Cosmos is drinking me.
