Put the Love Back in Your Holiday Giving

After a lifetime of buying presents, you know that giving great gifts is not an easy task. Many times it’s because people already seem to have everything, or the hectic rush of this time of year makes holiday shopping a chore. But there are other, very positive routes for gift-giving, and they start with a reflection of what is truly dear to you and those you love.

Honor Gifts: A New Twist to Your Holiday Giving

This holiday season, consider adding “honor gifts” to your list of giving ideas. If you have a loved one that holds Casa Pacifica close to his or her heart, you could make a significant gift to us in that person’s honor. By making an honor gift in a loved one’s name, you’ll establish a living tribute to him or her that:

• is always appreciated
• carries significant meaning
• supports our work during a time of great need

How Honor Gifts Work
Honor gifts are donations you make in recognition of someone significant in your life. These gifts are often made on traditional gift-giving occasions, but can also be used as a thoughtful way to say thanks or to congratulate a loved one for a noteworthy achievement or milestone reached.
