Gifts that make a difference in the lives of vulnerable children and families The Montrealer December 15, 2022 879 For those looking to step away from material gifts this holiday season, World Vision Canada has an array of charitable gifts to choose from that help make a difference in the lives of vulnerable children and families. Many of these gifts multiply in value thanks to communities, partners and governments dedicated to changing lives around the world. Gifts that multiply in value (anywhere from 2-9X in value) are a great option for those looking to spend less while still making a big impact. Gifts that multiply in value include, but are not limited to: • Water Purification and Hygiene Kits: Help vulnerable families receive critical supplies, like water purification tablets, water filters and filtration units, soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes and more. This gift multiples 4X in value. • Tech for a Community: Help unleash the potential of students by equipping schools and computer labs. Multiples 2X in value. • Family Food Baskets: Loaded with nutritious foods—staples like grains, beans, oil and more—this is a great way to fill hungry bellies with the right stuff. Thanks to donations from the World Food Programme, your gift multiplies 7X in value to aid food security. When you give through the Gift Catalogue, you’re providing opportunities for children to reach their fullest potential, improve livelihoods that help parents care for their families, and provide resources that help communities build up their infrastructure, economy, and resilience. The Gift Catalogue is running now until January 2, 2023. To learn more or to send a charitable gift to those in need, you can visit the Gift Catalogue here.
