COCONUT CREEK, Fla. – This Mother’s Day, let Food For The Poor’s gift catalog inspire you to think outside of the box. Forget the flowers that are destined to fade, and choose to honor Mom with a heartfelt gift from the charity’s catalog. All gifts are uniquely designed to improve the lives of poverty-stricken children and families that struggle to survive in developing countries.

Food For The Poor’s gift catalog epitomizes the spirit of giving and offers a wide variety of gift suggestions: from 20 chicks for $25, a solar-powered light kit for $125, or providing a community with a lifesaving water pump for $285. Or, for $90, you can show Mom she raised a good “kid” by giving a goat in her honor to a family in need. Your gift will grow and multiply to supply the family – and someday possibly the community –with nutritious milk and cheese.

To maximize the value of every dollar, Food For The Poor purchases food by the tractor-trailer load. The charity’s efficiency means savings can then be passed along to supporters who want to see their donation go a long way. Food For The Poor’s effectiveness gives you the ability to surprise Mom and feed a starving family for just $14.60 a month or a hungry child for a whole year for $43.80.

Whether you are a student, or a corporate titan, Food For The Poor’s gift catalog offers meaningful ideas for your special Mom, while remaining within your budget. Your gift to provide a year’s worth of school supplies for $20 or a new, secure one-room house for $3,200 will ultimately give children the chance of a better future. What better way is there than that to thank Mom?

Food For The Poor understands that picking the perfect gift for Mom can be a challenge and has created a video to show you a handful of additional gift ideas in action.

When you order from this catalog, be sure to request special gift cards to let Mom know about the gift given in her honor. Just indicate the number of cards needed on the enclosed order form.
