The Red Cross’ 2009 Holiday Giving Catalog is online and the gifts serve a vital purpose - to meet the needs of the military, families of military persons and people who are suffering from loss due to disaster. Prices range from low to high depending on what gift you would like to give to the Red Cross, but if you are like most people, this year you may be feeling the pinch of the economy. Many people that would normally donate to the Red Cross will be unable to simply because they are struggling with tight finances. If you had planned on donating but find yourself with no cash to spare, the Red Cross works with car donation to fund the vital work they do. Vehicle donation is a alternative resource for the Red Cross, who is a non-government agency and depends on donations from people who can help. Though the Holiday Giving Catalog is a great way to give to the Red Cross, if you can’t shop and have a car you no longer need, you can give when you donate a car to the Red Cross.
