Alternative Giving

Educate yourself and your youth about different ways to act with integrity in an unjust world. Encourage them to become familiar with non-sweatshop companies that produce textiles. Or introduce them to the concept of giving gifts in honor - making a donation to an organization in the name of a person instead of purchasing a material gift.

Textiles

Non-sweatshop companies are ones that do not use children to produce their goods. For more information or to find a list of companies check out Students for Labor Justice website.

Heiffer International

Heiffer International allows you to purchase animals for families in 3rd world countries. Give someone the gift of a flock of chickensdonated to a needy family in Guatemala. Heiffer International provides a card with information about the gift to be presented to the receiver. Check out their website.
