Christmas Giving
taken from here
It's just not Australian if you don't support at least one charity at Christmas. So why not look at some of the websites below and see if the Holy Spirit prompts you to share your abundance with others. God says "give and it will come back to you" and "giving is better then receiving". So why not?
Tear Australia
Tear has "Arguably the world's most useful Gift Catalogue". Give the person who has everything, something for the person who has hardly anything. For example, Twenty Tree Seedlings, Water Supply for One Person, Village Medical Kit, Child Immunisation, A Year of Primary Schooling, A Year of Family Health Care.
Anglicare
Why not make a donation online to support Anglicare's Christmas Appeal?. You can now easily buy Christmas cards and gifts from the online Anglicare shop.
GoodWill Charity Card Shop
GoodWillCharity has card shops across Australia supporting various charities.The 2010 season begins on Monday 20 September 2010, and our hours are Mon-Fri 9.30am to 4.00pm (Not Saturday).The shop is located in Room 17, Level 7, The Dymocks Building, 428 George Street (between King & Market Streets). The shop comprises twelve Australian charities who each supply their own unique range of Christmas cards. Because the shop is staffed by volunteers, all the proceeds raised are returned to the charity to fund vital education programs, research, special projects and other activities.
Host your own Fundraiser
J.R wrote in from the 'Blue Mtns' of Victoria - The Macedon Ranges. This year one of the members of her Apex 40 club volunteered to cater for a Christmas in July, and 24 sat down to a traditional 4 course meal in their dining/living room. The money that was left over went, on her request, to the Pink Ribbon section of the Anti-Cancer Council. A simple fun idea that everyone can do, to benefit charity.
