Last Minute Charitable Gift Idea: Get 'Em a Goat!

Ok you're really down to the wire here. Christmas is next week and you still don't have a gift for that impossible to shop for person on your list who truly has it all.

Why not get them a goat?

Seriously. At Ten Thousand Villages you can buy a goat for $33 that will feed a family in Africa. By making a donation on behalf of someone you are giving a gift to multiple people that will actually be useful. To top it off, this gift is tax deductible.

World Vision offers the same service, but it is more expensive.

See? Problem solved. This year, get 'em a goat.

This is a really fantastic idea! I know that your money also covers the costs of feed and vaccinations for a whole year, so this truly is a gift that will keep giving for years to come!
