Gift Giving with a Purpose
December 3, 2012 in Uncategorized
Many local non profit organizations, schools, libraries, foodbanks, etc. are accepting holiday gifts and donations for families in their care. Instead of spending $10 or $20 on a box of candy or coffee for your secret santa or office gift exchange, consider donating the money or a gift to a local charity in honor of that person. Many charities will acknowledge your gift by sending a note to the honoree. Call your favorite group to find out how you can make the most of your holiday gift giving. #giftgivingwithpurpose
