A Season to Give

It's hard to believe the holidays are already arriving. Wasn't I just working on a great tan? What happened to shorts, tank tops, and lemonade by the lake?

Chances are, you've put off holiday shopping and don't even want to think about what to get everyone on your holiday gift list. Tempting as it is to procrastinate once again, take off some stress this year and shop early. Here are some suggestions that not only make great gift ideas, but are also for a good cause.


Made By Survivors

Choose from a selection of hand-crafted items: jewelry, holiday & home, and shoulder bags by visiting this website. All items are made by women who have escaped the sex trade business and benefits programs to fight human trafficking in India.


Yellow Ribbon Fund





This website is dedicated to helping injured soildiers by making it possible for families to visit while the soildier is hospitalized. The fund provides rental cars, taxi service, and hotel accomodations to the families of the fallen and has had a huge impact on lifting the spirits of those who are wounded.


Puppies Behind Bars


Support Puppies Behind Bars, a program that teaches inmates to train puppies who become service dogs. View statistics and more information by visiting the website.


Warriors in Pink

This woven scarf is one of the latest items at Warriors in Pink which is dedicated to funding research to fight breast cancer through the Susan G. Komen Foundation. At only $38 each, it's a stylish way to show your support.
