Gifts that Give Back
There is no bad time to give back, but there is something about the holiday season that puts people in a charitable mood. And while most people pay it forward by writing checks to charities or dropping spare change in the Salvation Army kettle, you can pay it forward twice over when you give your loved one a charitable gift.

That’s right, there are plenty of affordable gifts that give back to worthy causes.
This year, it is even more important to consider where your money goes. As a result of the
global COVID-19 pandemic, millions of Americans have lost their jobs, forcing them to go
without the essentials needed to survive. Additionally, the racial injustices the occurred over the past year have resulted in a greater need for funding to raise awareness and support the families who've been affected. And there are still plenty of other organizations supporting worthy causes that need financial support to keep going.

So why not put your money toward a present that brings joy to the recipient and helps a cause?

Although a small percentage of proceeds from your purchase might not seem like a lot, when combined with the efforts of thousands, they can lead up to a
hefty donation.
From wine that helps children with Autism to bracelets that support the LGBTQ+ community, there is a gift for every cause.

Here are just a few "Feel Good" shopping ideas.
