This year for the first 3,100 donations made by phone (1-888-511-6588) or online to World Vision on Giving Tuesday, Thirty-One Gifts, a direct-selling company focused on personalized totes, purses, home organization solutions and more, will donate a Hope Kit to a woman or girl in need in the U.S. Each kit is filled with
essential hygiene supplies such as a toothbrush, shampoo, hairbrush soap
and a special note of encouragement.
Poverty in America is very real and affects millions of vulnerable women and children every single day. The Shriver Report on Women in America, released in January, provides a bleak outlook of the financial state of women and children: 1 in 3 American women – 42 million women, plus 28 million children – either live in poverty or are right on the brink of it. With Giving Tuesday you can do a small part to help make a real impact right here in the U.S.
In case you are unfamiliar with Thirty-One they offer a wide variety of gifts that the whole family can enjoy and many of them can be monogrammed as well. Thinks storage and travel but with only the cutest of prints and designs. They have stuff for kids and dads too!
Since it began in 1996, the World Vision Gift Catalog has grown in popularity as a gift-giving alternative by featuring over 100 ways to improve the lives of children through gifts such as: clean water, food, medicine, education, job training and small business loans, among others. Gifts range in price from $16 to $39,000 and can be made in a loved one’s name. Last year alone more than 822,000 people were helped through the Catalog! It might seem a little silly to you but the gift of things like chickens and goats can be life savings for families across the globe.
To order from World Vision’s Gift Catalog, visit World Vision Gifts or call 855-WV-GIFTS. Don’t forget on #GivingTuesday that you can double the impact with World Vision and Thirty-One Gifts. This is great to get he kids involved with too because teaching compassion and generosity starts at home.
