But then a little later, I heard from Share our Strength's No Kid Hungry campaign about their really beautiful holiday cards.
On the back, they have a message that lets the recipient know that a donation has been made to Share our Strength to provide healthy food for kids who are hungry.
Wouldn't one of these be a fabulous hostess gift? There's room on the card for a personal note and I know that if I received one of these with a heartfelt message from a friend along the lines of, "Thank you for your wonderful hospitality this holiday season. In your honor I've made a gift to Share our Strength to help more families are happy and healthy this year!" -- I'd be absolutely thrilled.
For a suggested donation of just $45 you could have five of these cards on hand this December.
Here's a little bit more about why No Child Hungry is so important:

Hi, Aimee--
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful idea-- thank you for sharing. I make an effort to make donations to charity instead of giving gifts for holidays, and I really appreciate "receiving" gifts like that, too! I'm a teacher, and respectfully ask parents to make donations to children's charities, if they feel inclined to purchase something for me. It warms my heart, and sends a powerful message to students, too!!
I will certainly spread the word about "No Child Hungry."
Love, Candygirlflies
