have reached the point in my life where I really don't need anything. Books are always welcome, gift certificates for massages and facials are appreciated, and I never say no to a box of chocolates. But I love it when people give gifts in my name, particularly when they know the causes I support. I'm for feeding hungry people. I support literacy. I think science is important. I read banned books. I believe we're in a climate crisis.
If you're looking for a gift for that hard-to-buy-for person, here are my go-tos.
Organizations that feed people.
Jose Andres' World Central Kitchen. If there's a natural disaster or a humanitarian disaster and people are hungry, Jose and his team are there. Charity Navigator rates it 4/4 (100%) in all categories.
Meals on Wheels provides meals for seniors and it's a godsend. Charity Navigator rates individual programs and they consistently score in the mid-90s to 100%.
Project Angel Food provides medically tailored meals for those facing critical and life-threatening illnesses. Charity Nasvigator gives them a 100% rating.
All for Lunch works to end school lunch debt and donations pay off that debt so everyone can get a lunch that doesn't consist of "sunbutter" sandwiches. Charity Navigator has not yet rated.
