A Different Form of Giving
So I have decided to give out some gifts this year, but not the traditional kind that can be bought at the store--the kind that give to someone else.
I hope that you take into consideration the websites I'm posting below as your form of giving as well, especially if anyone decides they want to get me anything. Please instead help those in the world who are less fortunate such as the peoples of South America, Africa and Asia as well as the animals of the world who are losing their homes.
The Hunger Site (in addition to your gift, cups of food are donated by the site's sponsors to help stamp out world hunger):

If for some reason any of those above links don't work, just go to the store for the particular site and click on "Gifts that give more"
For the wild animal lover in your life there is always the option of "adopting" an animal for them. Basically your donation helps the Defenders of Wildlife to provide preservation and assistance to the particular species of your choosing.
