#shopwithpurpose

Ashleigh Chapman

This holiday season, we encourage everyone to #shopwithpurpose – and there are a number of ways!

Explore wish lists from programs in CaliforniaGeorgia, and Maryland that support survivors. Find wish lists in your local area that support populations that are vulnerable, including foster youth, homeless and runaway youth, and youth with incarcerated parents. From toys to books and electronics to activities, your gifts can make holiday wishes come true this season for those in need.

You can also support survivors and those at-risk by by being sure the gifts you purchase are ethically sourced, or by purchasing survivor made-gifts. Get started by reviewing goods and products from New Creation, Star Fish Project, Generate Hope and Fair trade.
