Last Minute Christmas Gifts Ideas that Give Twice!

It's not too late to find the perfect Christmas Gift for someone you love or that person who has everything. Chalice US has a Christmas Gift Catalog full of great gift ideas that give twice! When you purchase a gift for someone in need you make a difference for the recipient and allow your friend or loved one in whose name you gave that gift to experience the incredible gift of changing someone's life! Here are a couple of examples of the impact previous gifts from the Chalice Christmas Gift Catalog have made for some of our sponsored children and families.

Education Gift

In Lima, Peru many children do not have a place to study, complete homework, or store their school supplies. Catalog items were used to create a study corner to resolve this problem. The children are thankful to have a place to study at home.

Nutrition: Feed a Family for a Month

Elirene sells bread and milk to provide for her eight children but often has difficulty making ends meet which is a common reality for many families in Haiti. The gift Feed a Family for a Month helps families like Elirene’s receive the nutritional support they need to work, learn, and play.

Here’s how the Chalice gift catalog works:

  1. Select a gift from the catalog.

  2. Download a printable card to give to the person in whose name you are giving the gift.

  3. Your gift catalog item is received by someone in need.

A gift of $50 from the Nutrition section of the Gift Catalog will Feed a Family for a Month. Fifteen dollars gives a gift of Milk, and $25 will provide Bottles and Formula when mother’s milk is not an option.

Besides Education and Nutrition, gifts are available in the areas of:

Animals and Farming

Household

Health

Livelihood

Community Improvement

Most Needed Gift

You can also choose to sponsor a child in the name of a loved one or friend. Investing in the future of a child in need through the Catholic child sponsorship programs provided by Chalice US costs just $33 per month and gives children the support and nourishment they need to learn at school while providing families with the resources they need to care for their children and learn skills to improve daily life for their family and community.
