Often, gift-giving is a part of the holiday tradition. Giving and receiving gifts can add to the magic of human connection \u2014 especially when gifts are an expression of your love and values.<\/p>\n<p>But in an age of rampant consumerism, I think it\u2019s worthwhile to take a step back and reconnect with the true meaning of our holidays \u2014 our \u201choly days\u201d \u2014 before pulling out our credit cards and buying mass-produced stuff for the people we love.<\/p>\n<p>While different religious traditions observe different festivals and tell different stories, there are always underlying themes of togetherness, compassion, unity, and love.<\/p>\n<p>So before buying the latest and greatest thing, let\u2019s honor the spirit of the holiday season by gifting to enhance the lives and happiness of those around us.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Try giving a gift that is uniquely yours: a poem, a meaningful story, a massage.<\/strong> If you have a skill, can you deploy it on behalf of the recipient? Fix their dripping kitchen faucet? Mend their wobbly chair? Help them declutter their garage?<\/p>\n<p>Or what about volunteering or donating money to an organization that embodies the person\u2019s values and longings for the world?<\/p>\n<p>Purchased gifts don\u2019t have to be physical things, either. What about gifting experiences, like a membership to an online health community or offering to take them on a hike to your favorite spot in nature?<\/p>\n<p>If you buy physical gifts, choose ones that support connection or help the recipient live a healthier and more enjoyable life. A big part of successful gifting is thinking about the person you\u2019re giving the gift to. What do they love? What would they find fun? And what forms of social connection do they enjoy?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Another strategy for choosing great gifts is finding things that make it easier for people to enhance their health and, if possible, make the world healthier.<\/strong> High-quality kitchenware, well-made air and water filters, fair-trade foods, and sustainable home goods can all fall into this category.<\/p>\n<h2>Meaningful and Sustainable Gifts for Everyone<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_55424\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-55424\" style=\"width: 1254px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-55424\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.foodrevolution.org\/cdn-cgi\/image\/quality=75,format=auto\/foodrevolution.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/iStock-1200707461.jpg\" alt=\"Woman holding red heart\" width=\"1254\" height=\"836\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.foodrevolution.org\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1254,quality=75,format=auto\/foodrevolution.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/iStock-1200707461.jpg 1254w, https:\/\/cdn.foodrevolution.org\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=300,quality=75,format=auto\/foodrevolution.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/iStock-1200707461-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.foodrevolution.org\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1024,quality=75,format=auto\/foodrevolution.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/iStock-1200707461-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.foodrevolution.org\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=768,quality=75,format=auto\/foodrevolution.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/iStock-1200707461-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1254px) 100vw, 1254px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-55424\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">iStock.com\/agrobacter<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Let\u2019s honor our \u201choly days\u201d by giving gifts that enhance the lives and happiness of those around us.<\/p>\n<p>In that spirit, our team at Food Revolution Network has compiled a list of meaningful and sustainable gift ideas.

Consider donating a gift on behalf of a loved one this holiday season.<\/p>\n<p><strong>These are some of Food Revolution Network\u2019s favorite charities and nonprofits.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>1. <a href=\"https:\/\/foodrevolutionalliance.org\/\">Food Revolution Alliance<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Newly founded by FRN\u2019s John and Ocean Robbins, the Food Revolution Alliance (FRA) carries on FRN\u2019s mission in a charitable context. While FRN is a B-corp with a million-member network working to build a healthier world through food, it cannot accept tax-deductible donations. <strong>FRA, however, is a nonprofit focused on creating systemic change in food systems through education, public awareness, policy advocacy, and coalition-building.<\/strong> FRA seeks to increase access to nutritious foods in low-income and traditionally marginalized communities, integrate food-as-medicine into healthcare, and promote plant-based eating and higher nutritional standards in schools.<\/p>\n<p>As of this writing, it\u2019s just getting started. While we apply for charitable status, the nonprofit YES! functions as a fiscal sponsor. Early donations can make a huge impact as we seed this endeavor. <a href=\"https:\/\/foodrevolutionalliance.org\/\">Donate here.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>2. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wholesomewave.org\/\">Wholesome Wave<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Wholesome Wave is a nonprofit working to end not just <a href=\"\/blog\/food-and-health\/healthy-affordable-food-food-deserts\/\">food insecurity<\/a> but nutrition insecurity across the US.<\/strong> They believe access to healthy food should be a right, not a privilege. Some of their programs include working on a produce prescription program with health care providers, closing the gap between those who need food assistance and those who can get it through government programs, and doubling <a href=\"\/blog\/snap-benefits-buy-plants-seeds-with-ebt\/\">SNAP benefits<\/a> when food stamps are used on fruits and vegetables. Every dollar provides 10 servings of fresh fruits and vegetables for those in need.<\/p>\n<h3>3. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.charitywater.org\/donate\">Charity: Water<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Our bodies are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usgs.gov\/special-topic\/water-science-school\/science\/water-you-water-and-human-body?qt-science_center_objects=0#qt-science_center_objects\">made of<\/a> mostly water \u2014 somewhere around 60%. And we all need water to survive. Unfortunately, millions of people worldwide don\u2019t have access to this basic human right. <strong>Charity: Water funds water programs in 27 countries around the globe.<\/strong> And they work to provide clean water in rural and poverty-stricken communities. If you donate for yourself or in the name of a friend or family member, you can rest assured it will bring water to people in need.<\/p>\n<h3>4. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.soulfirefarm.org\/\">Soul Fire Farm<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Soul Fire Farm is a community farm in Petersburg, NY, run by <a href=\"\/blog\/leah-penniman-soul-fire-farm-interview\/\">Leah Penniman<\/a>, co-director and farm manager. <strong>Using afro-indigenous farming practices, Soul Fire Farm seeks to regenerate land for community use to end <a href=\"\/blog\/food-deserts-food-oasis-healthy-food-access\/\">food apartheid<\/a> and uproot racism in the food system.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Through food sovereignty programs and workshops, Soul Fire Farm brings healing and agricultural skills back to Black and brown folks so that they can reclaim their collective right to connect with the earth and have agency within the food system. Check out the <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/1bwn153phRVk-q1Hr4OMnOv_xK9pQPR40bIWk7r4WBMs\/edit?tab=t.0\">Soul Fire Farm Community FAQ<\/a> to learn about their past and future projects and where your funds may be applied.<\/p>\n<h3>5. <a href=\"https:\/\/trees.org\/\">Trees for the Future<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Trees are essential to life. They provide oxygen, store carbon, and revitalize the soil. <strong>Trees for the Future has planted over 145 million trees in dozens of countries.<\/strong> As a result, they\u2019ve improved thousands of lives, helping families transition from unsustainable farming techniques to more sustainable practices. Every donation goes toward planting a valuable tree \u2014 often a fruit or nut tree \u2014 in a low-income community. Help end hunger and poverty in Sub-Saharan Africa and keep our world full of life-giving trees with this sustainable giving idea.<\/p>\n<h3>6. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecprogram.org\/\">Educated Choices Program<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><strong>The Educated Choices Program (ECP) educates students of all ages about the impact of nutrition and their food choices on health, animals, and the environment.<\/strong> Their programs include interactive presentations on topics like \u201cHealthful Eating\u201d and \u201cModern Animal Agriculture.\u201d Students are challenged to address these issues and think critically about them, discussing their importance in an academic setting. ECP has touched the lives of hundreds of thousands of students. Donations support their vital programs in schools, allowing educators to prepare the future leaders of tomorrow.<\/p>\n<h3>7. <a href=\"https:\/\/act.ewg.org\/onlineactions\/O6Wq1SkLXEam4cmOkmwkyA2\">Environmental Working Group<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><strong>The folks at Environmental Working Group work to educate consumers on the dangers of toxic chemicals and pesticides in the food supply and drinking water.<\/strong> They also maintain a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ewg.org\/skindeep\/\">cosmetics database<\/a>, which tracks the ingredient safety of personal care products. Their reports, guides, campaigns, apps, and product verifications are an invaluable resource for keeping your family safe and healthy.<\/p>\n<h3>8. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ronfinley.com\/\">The Ron Finley Project<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Known as the \u201cgangsta gardener,\u201d <a href=\"\/blog\/video-ron-finley\/\">Ron Finley<\/a> works to bring community gardening and regeneration to urban spaces. <strong>The Ron Finley Project currently operates a community garden in a South Central LA neighborhood that serves as a gathering place for horticultural and nutritional education.<\/strong> For a limited time, you can order your very own <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ronfinley.com\/plant-some-money\">Gangsta Gardener Kit<\/a> to free yourself or others from food insecurity. You can also support the garden and Ron\u2019s vision with a donation <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/donate?hosted_button_id=H4SLJT9SCMQRC\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>9. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.farmsanctuary.org\/giving\/adopt-a-farm-animal\/gift-adoptions\/\">Farm Sanctuary<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Factory farms contribute to the destruction of our environment through <a href=\"\/blog\/meat-dairy-greenhouse-gases\/\">greenhouse gases<\/a>. Industrialized agriculture causes food contamination, recalls, <a href=\"\/blog\/antibiotic-resistance-factory-farms\/\">antibiotic resistance<\/a>, and animal cruelty. Many animals raised on factory farms never see a blade of grass. However, Farm Sanctuary educates people on the plight of farm animals and the hazards of factory farming. They also rescue animals from cruelty and impending slaughter and give them the opportunity to live happy, healthy, and free lives.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Through Farm Sanctuary\u2019s animal sponsorship programs, you can adopt a farm animal with a donation, which includes an adoption certificate, photo of your animal, sticker, meet and greet at one of the sanctuaries (in New York or Los Angeles), and a discount off of Farm Sanctuary merchandise.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>10. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movingmedforward.org\/\">Moving Medicine Forward<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Moving Medicine Forward, founded by Dr. Michael Klaper, is revolutionizing medical education by integrating plant-based nutrition and lifestyle medicine into medical school curriculums. With a mission to equip future physicians with the knowledge to prevent and reverse chronic diseases through diet and lifestyle, this initiative seeks to transform healthcare at its roots. Dr. Klaper\u2019s work addresses a critical gap in traditional medical training by emphasizing the profound impact of food choices on health.

And many countries and companies have issued <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalgeographic.com\/environment\/2018\/07\/news-plastic-drinking-straw-history-ban\/\">plastic straw bans<\/a> to combat the problem. Some places have replaced <a href=\"\/blog\/single-use-plastics-problems\/\">plastic<\/a> with disposable paper straws, but they\u2019re not a long-term solution. Instead, consider investing in stainless steel straws, like this set from Amazon. You\u2019ll get 12 extra-long drinking straws: three each of bent and straight varieties for both 20-ounce and 30-ounce tumblers. The set also includes cleaning brushes and a carrying bag \u2014 another great stocking stuffer idea for the sustainability-conscious people in your life.<\/p>\n<h3>5. <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/33B0ZOE\">Cuisinart 12-Piece Cookware Set, MultiClad Pro Triple Ply, Silver, MCP-12N<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>This Cuisinart cookware set is one of many fine stainless steel pot and pan sets.
