Extend your Christmas generosity into the New Year!!!
In this uncertain economy many people are drawn to seek assistance for expenses that they easily met in the past. Through Gifts of the Magi you can make a lasting impact on an individual or family by assisting people who have a one-time need for beds, transportation, appliances, etc. Consider extending your Christmas gift into the New Year and bring hope and stability to those in need. Donations are welcome in any amount and are fully tax-deductible.
Here are a couple of their stories……
A single mother has a 6 month old with medical needs that require a double stroller to carry the baby and her medical support equipment. Three gifts of $50 will help mom and baby to get around.
