If you want to make a difference this holiday season, try a different catalog.
The Red Cross offers a meaningful way to give gifts with their 2011 Holiday Giving Catalog.
It allows shoppers to donate to a charitable cause.
The catalog offers options such as vaccinating an entire village, providing shelter to disaster victims or purchasing phone cards for members of the U.S. Armed Forces.
According to a recent Red Cross poll, 68 percent of Americans believe that because of the economy, it’s important to give something to charity, an increase of 10 percent over last year.
This is the most important time of year for Red Cross donations because it supports the rest of the year when donations aren’t as prominent.
The work the Red Cross does year-round is funded now, so it’s a great time to give someone a real meaningful gift by making a tribute in their honor.
Purchases include greeting cards to notify loved ones of the gifts in their honor.
