Phone home

While most of us gather with family or friends, inmates and people in detention have to pay just to make a phone call. Holidays are about being with family, and if we can’t be physically present, we call. Incarcerated or detained people often don’t have that luxury, so if you’re grateful for family today, donate funds to help keep the people we lock up connected, too.

Be Santa’s Elf

We’ve all had that last minute panic: stores are closing and we need one more gift. We’ve also all received a gift we didn’t love, but forgot to return. Do you have a dress in the closet with the tags still on it, or kid’s toys still like-new? Offer it up TODAY, to save someone’s holiday. There might be a desperate parent (or thoughtful kid) who needs a miracle.

It’s a Wonderful Life

This Christmas classic is also just a great movie about capitalism, class warfare, and struggling to see the effect you have on the world. If you haven’t watched it in years, give it a chance!

For a more modern take on community-building, we recommend Klaus, a delightful animated origin-story about Santa, featuring indigenous Scandinavian Sámi characters.

Skip Starbucks and Amazon, and support small businesses with your last-minute purchases.
