This Giving Tuesday, Thirty-One Gifts donates backpacks for hurricane relief in Texas, Florida

"In many ways, this has been an unprecedented year for natural disasters," said Jennifer Hawley, Senior Director for Corporate Engagement at World Vision. "Through a generous partnership with Thirty-One Gifts, we will be able to bring emergency relief items to thousands of children and families in the United States and around the world who have lost nearly everything."

Any donation to World Vision on Giving Tuesday will have twice the impact, thanks to the partnership with Thirty-One Gifts. For every donation to World Vision on that day, Thirty-One Gifts will provide up to $1 million in backpacks, apparel, and bags to help women and children in need here in the United States and around the world.

"We're honored to be involved with World Vision for the fourth year in a row," said Wendy Bradshaw, Executive Director of Community Affairs at Thirty-One Gifts. "We've been very pleased to see our products used to assist people in need during recent disasters, and we've seen how World Vision is onsite immediately to help people when they need it the most. It's our pleasure to help them further their impact and help more individuals and families in need everywhere through our donation match. We are hopeful many people will double their donation through this match on Giving Tuesday."  

This is the fourth year the two organizations have partnered together on Giving Tuesday to spread generosity during the holiday season. Since this partnership first formed in 2013, Thirty-One Gifts has donated more than $4.7 million to the humanitarian organization.

Giving Tuesday, the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, is a day devoted to charitable giving, volunteering and advocacy, in response to the consumer focus of Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

The World Vision Gift Catalog gives donors over 100 ways to join the movement to end extreme poverty with life-saving gifts such as child sponsorship that make a tangible impact on families in need. Shoppers don't have to spend a fortune to shine bright in a child's life this holiday season – gifts range from $16 to $39,000. In 2016 alone, more than 112,000 people donated more than 274,000 items from the Christian humanitarian agencies Gift Catalog.
