GIVING

This year a new Tiberi Family Christmas Tradition is being born!! My girls have always loved going to Barnes and Noble to pick out books for children in need (which we still are doing) and we also help give toys to children in one way or another. This year we feel that we need to add on to the giving part a bit more so we have been researching charities together as a family so the girls can give some of their money to. We have found some great ones!! Below you will find a list:

Changing the Present : A broad storehouse of charitable giving organizations and gift options related to specific topics, from “Basic Needs” to “Community”, “Health & Safety”, “Environment” and “Opportunity.”


Kiva : Kiva connects people through lending for the sake of alleviating poverty.

Heifer International : This organization is committed to ending world hunger and global poverty, as well as promoting environmental stewardship, through a variety of initiatives. My Mom had Heifer International come in to her class a couple of years a go to speak and it was Amazing!! We gathered money for a goat.

Oxfam : Oxfam works with international communities to improve the lives of the world’s poor.

Trees for the Future : Trees For the Future improves livelihood and degraded lands by planting beneficial trees.

Save the Manatee : Co-founded by Jimmy Buffet, this organization works to protect endangered manatees and their aquatic habitats.

Operation Eyesight : A remarkable endeavor, dedicated to eliminating avoidable blindness.This is one of my personal favorites!
