Thanks to the generosity of our amazing donors, the 2024 Gift Catalog fundraiser made a real difference in the lives of children we serve around the world. This year, the gifts people chose helped bring joy, warmth, and skills to children in need. Your support has given hope to many families, and we want to share just how much your contributions have done.
One of the most popular items in our catalog was the Christmas Meals and More pack. This special gift not only provided a beautifully wrapped Christmas present for a child but also ensured that their family enjoyed a warm Christmas meal together. For many families, this gift
was a reminder of the love and care that people from all over the world have for them, making the holiday season even brighter.
Another important gift was pairs of shoes for children who had only worn tattered shoes for far too long. Many children received brand-new shoes that fit properly and kept their feet safe and healthy. For these children, a new pair of shoes can make a huge difference, whether they’re walking to school or playing with friends.
The hot lunch donations also helped children get the nutrition they need to grow strong and healthy. A hot meal can be hard to come by for children living in poverty, but thanks to your support, many kids were able to enjoy a meal during the school day. This simple act of kindness
filled their stomachs and allowed them to focus on learning and playing.
The winter clothing packs provided a new winter coat and accessories like scarves and hats to children in colder climates. These items helped ensure that children stayed warm during the winter months, protecting them from the harsh cold. With a warm coat, a child can play outside, attend school, and stay healthy despite the chilly weather.
Lastly, the life-skills packs made a huge impact, especially at our Point of Hope Center in Romania. Donors provided children with sewing kits, cooking kits, or woodworking kits. These tools helped children learn important skills that will help them in the future. Whether it’s learning how to sew, cook, or build, these life skills empower children to become self-sufficient and confident.
We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to all our donors. Your kindness and generosity have made a lasting impact on the lives of children in need. Because of you, many children around the world received gifts that will help them live better, happier lives. Thank you for giving the gift of hope this holiday season!
