Ever think of giving someone a camel for Christmas? In the spirit of being more green, consider for a moment that perhaps you and yours don’t really need anymore “stuff” this holiday season. Oxfam America offers charitable holiday gifts that do good – and they don’t come wrapped in soon-to-be trashed paper, boxes, and bows.

A nonprofit organization committed to creating lasting solutions to poverty, hunger, and injustice, Oxfam America supports its mission by offering donors the option to purchase a can of worms ($18), school supplies ($25), a water pump ($135), or to plant an entire forest ($500) – all in effort to fight local and global poverty.

Though they are considered one of the world’s leading humanitarian organizations, Oxfam America is the only organization that refuses US government funds. They rely on people like you to invest in their community-based work.
