Looking for a creative, socially conscious gift alternative for the upcoming holidays? Give “the gift of giving.” We hope you’ll consider one of Family-to-Family’s gift alternatives…. compassionate and meaningful gifts to give a friend, colleague or family member. (Also consider one for a birthday, bar or bat mitzvah or christening. Or "gift" yourself!)

Victory Garden Kit
A gift in the name of a friend, colleague or family member that
keeps on giving.
There is a Chinese proverb, “Give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.” The same can be said for fruits, vegetables and eggs.

With your donated funds, Family-to-Family will provide a Victory Garden Kit for one family in need living in one of three F-to-F sponsored communities. The Victory Garden Kit contains 10 egg-laying chickens, vegetable and fruit seeds for two 5’x8’ planting beds, a tool set, fertilizer and chicken feed, a case of quart jars…providing a family with the means to grow and produce fresh produce.

Click HERE to donate a Victory Garden in the community of your choice. (Please choose the community on the following linked page.) After your purchase, a beautifully designed gift announcement card will be mailed to the recipient of your gift.
