Alternative Gift Catalog: Gifts of Food & Beverage

If you want to reclaim the real reason for the season,
     if you want to find Emmanuel,
          If you don't want to miss the coming of the Christ this year,
               remember the clues from our Christian Holy writings:
                    Whenever you do for the least of these, you do for me.
                                        (Check out the Gospel of Matthew, chapter 25, verses 31-46.)

Let us be clear, gift-giving is a good thing to do.
     Gift-giving is a concrete way of letting people know you are thinking of them,
           you care for them, and
                 that they are special to you.

But, let us thoughtfully give gifts that are affirming, life-enhancing, community-building,
and justice-celebrating.

Look over these suggestions,
          explore these opportunities,
                   and let your own thoughts springboard from them.
