#GivingTuesday: Double the Impact with World Vision and Thirty-One Gifts

Take a break from the retail frenzy following Thanksgiving and join with World Vision and Thirty-One Gifts to celebrate generosity during the 3rd annual #GivingTuesday onDec. 2, 2014. For the first 3,100 donations made by phone (1-888-511-6588) or online (Worldvision.org) to World Vision on Giving Tuesday, Thirty-One Gifts – a direct-selling company focused on personalized totes, purses, home organization solutions and more – will donate a Hope Kit tote filled with hygiene supplies to a woman or girl in need in the U.S.

On #GivingTuesday every donation made to the Christian humanitarian agency World Vision will make twice the impact by combatting poverty in one of the 100 countries where World Vision works and helping a woman or girl in need in the U.S. get back on her feet with a Hope Kit.  Each kit is filled with essential hygiene supplies such as a toothbrush, shampoo, hairbrush soap and a special note of encouragement.

I received a free Hope Kit  and this really is such a great idea.  My favorite item is the special note of encouragement. This really is a nice gift for a woman or girl in need to receive.

Why the Need?

Poverty in America is real and affects millions of vulnerable women and children every day. The Shriver Report on Women in America, released in January, provides a bleak outlook of the financial state of women and children: 1 in 3 American women –  42 million women, plus 28 million children – either live in poverty or are right on the brink of it.

We have teamed up for a giveaway! One winner  receive a personalized Handle-It Cosmetic Bag in Paisley Day, Black Chevron or Plum Chevron from Thirty-One Gifts. To enter, please tell us what you are most thankful for. Deadline to enter is November 30th, 2014 at noon PST. One winner will randomly be selected from all entries. *US residents only.
