Our family has been known to give donations as our main gifts to each other, and to our extended family. We try to find organizations and charities that resonate with our receiver. For instance, one year we found an organization that provides horseback riding lessons to people with special needs, and gave a donation in honor of my horse-loving mother-in-law.
In addition to the whole giving back thing, it’s super convenient to give donations online. Most websites even provide a customizable printable for your recipient. Easy and impactful? Yes please!
Here are a few of my favorites:
Samaritans Purse – Operation Christmas Child
World Vision – Christmas gift catalog
Those are just to name a few – there are SO many wonderful options and opportunities! What are your favorites?

Encouragement straight to your inbox
I'd love to meet you over a picket fence in our backyards with a cup of coffee and a good story. We'd talk real life, real motherhood, and real encouragement.
Add your email below to get spam-free encouragement in your inbox. I share about the extraordinary ordinary found in mothering. Join me at the fence? I'll send you an email when blog posts come out, and occasional other updates. By the way, you can read my privacy policy here: annarendell.com/privacy.
One of my faves is the ELCA Good Gifts program.
