Give Gifts
P.S. Hold on to this catalog all year to keep giving gifts that matter — for birthdays, Mother’s Day, and more. Or pass it on to someone who’s shopping for you!
Items Are Carefully Chosen
How it Works ...
Browse the gifts — and discover how each makes an impact! Then make choices and give gifts by phone, online, or mailing the inserted form.
A Gift That Makes a Lasting Difference
We don’t ship sheep (or other catalog gifts). In most cases, the in-country FH team purchases items locally. This supports the local community’s sustainable development strategy for the greatest impact.
These are gifts that will make a real and lasting difference — this Christmas, and far beyond. With these items, you’ll provide the food, clean water, and other basics children and families need in order to survive today ... as well as education, tools, and training they can use to achieve a brighter future tomorrow.
Returning the enclosed reply form with your donation is easy — and you can give online anytime (even Christmas Day!) at fh.org/catalog.
Families Receive Gifts
Add joy and excitement to your Christmas shopping by stopping by the Kidz Zone (pages 28-29) — packed with jokes and riddles, a word scramble, a giving wishlist, and other fun activities for generous kids, plus a list of the best gifts piggy bank money can buy!
Food for the Hungry (FH) considers every gift a sacred trust and promises to use your donation in the most effective way possible. The items and needs in this catalog reflect the average costs at the time of writing, and may change at any time. Gifts cannot be traced back to individual beneficiaries or communities. In the event a ministry need has been fulfilled or changed, FH will honor your generosity by directing your gift toward a similar project.
you! May God bless you with a Christmas full of hope, joy, peace, love, and — most of all — Jesus, even as you share these same blessings with those in need!
GIVING is EVEN MORE FUN than receiving!
And this year, with this catalog, I warmly invite you to give gifts that speak these words to the hearts of those you love and vulnerable children and families around the world ... in tangible, meaningful, unique, and life-changing ways!
Thanks to your generosity, children, families, and whole communities are on the path out of poverty!

1. Meet urgent needs. Every item has been specifically requested by communities we serve to uniquely address challenges they face — for food, clean water, education, and more.
2. Lift up entire communities. We don’t ship sheep (or other catalog gifts). Instead, wherever practical, most items you give are purchased in-country to further support the local economy in impoverished areas.

Schools in many of the communities we serve don’t have enough workspaces to go around — sometimes as many as four children are crowded around one desk, making it difficult to take notes and complete school work.
