this Christmas
Did you know Americans spend more than $240 Billion on Christmas gifts every year? That speaks directly to the value that gift giving has in this country. We at CharityGiftMarket also believe in the value of gift giving; it is in our human nature to give and receive gifts. But I want you to stop and imagine if a fraction of that total cost not only bought a beautiful gift, but made a difference in the world by supporting someone in need.
Its hard to comprehend the enormity of $240 Billion, so let me put that in perspective . . .
The World Bank estimates that for the whole world to acheive universal coverage for water and sanitation it would cost between $9-$30 Billion!
The World Bank also estimates that $30 Billion for 3-5 years would solve world hunger!
Imagine. In one year, the proceeds from Christmas shopping could solve the most fundamental basic needs for the entire world!
Let me be clear, we are in NO way pulling on the strings of guilting you into not shopping this Christmas. The beauty of CharityGiftMarket is that it is a bridge between supporting great causes and shopping. Yes, we can have our cake and eat it too!
This year, we are asking that you start with one gift. A simple step, which may not seem like much, BUT an avalanche starts with one snowflake.
Will you pledge to shop different this Christmas? Will you pledge to buy one gift from CharityGiftMarket? We won't be able to solve world hunger . . . yet, but I guarantee your purchase will change someone's life and I guarantee your purchase will be one snowflake in the avalanche to come.
Take
THE PLEDGE
This Christmas, I pledge to shop different.
I pledge to buy one gift from CharityGiftMarket that supports people in need.
I pledge this because my shopping will change the world.
