Food Gifts for People In Need?

Food is the center of our holiday season, and even in this economic downturn, most of us still enjoy abundance at our holiday tables. If you want to help make a difference this year for those who don't have enough food for their families, here are some unique gift ideas...

Through the World Vision Gift Catalog, people can make a donation to dozens of different projects around the world to help hungry families and children. It's much better than giving an impersonal gift card or a fruitcake, and the donations can go a long way to promoting good health and nutrition in the developing world.

And as the economy continues to falter - and the holidays approach - people are looking for gifts that stretch their "giving dollars" this year. A donation in the name of a friend or loved one is a great way to give the gift that keeps on giving this holiday!

Some great food gifts under $50 include:

- Chickens to provide a lasting source of nutrition & income to a family.
($25 for two chickens; $50 for four chickens)

- Hybrid or drought-resistant seeds to help produce a bounty of nutritious crops like rice, carrots, and corn ($17)

- Tools like fertilizer and hoes for farmers to improve their harvest ($35)

- Food for a hungry mother and her children ($50)

Additional gift ideas - sorted by price and category - can be found at www.worldvisiongifts.org.
