Citizen Effect's Holiday Harvest benefits four food projects around the world

Holiday fundraising campaign offers more meaningful gift experience

2010-12-04

WASHINGTON, DC, December 04, 2010 (Press-News.org) The holidays are the most important time of the year for fundraising and despite the recession, December is once again expected to be the most giving month of 2010. Citizen Effect has set out to harvest that generosity and has launched its biggest fundraising campaign of the year, "Citizen Effect's Holiday Harvest," to invite everyone to hold the sweater, gloves and fruitcakes and participate in a more meaningful gift experience that will benefit four communities around the world in need of food.

The campaign is now online at http://citizeneffect.org/holidayharvest.

With the global food price index at its highest level in the last two years, the global food crisis is a problem we can't ignore. Citizen Effect is directing help to those affected by this crisis by supporting four major projects this holiday season and encouraging donors to give directly to each cause or to give a gift to loved ones that gives back. Citizen Effect has partnered with Snapfish.com to create easy holiday photo cards to send to friends and family. The purchase of every card will become a contribution to Citizen Effect's Holiday Harvest campaign. Shoppers will give to their project of choice when they send a card and, for two years, will receive updates on the impact their contribution to the project is having on the community. It truly is the gift that keeps on giving.

The projects include, providing daily nutritious meals for at-risk children in Callao, Peru; support for rural farmers in Gurajat, India so they can feed their families throughout the year; three meals a days for foster children in Cloetesville, South Africa; and putting food on the table for fishing families affected by the Gulf Oil Spill.

Citizen Effect is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization driven by the idea that anyone can make a real and significant impact in the world. Our mission is to provide Citizen Philanthropists with the tools and networks they need to work directly with communities in need around the world. More at http://citizeneffect.org
