The BIG ANNOUNCEMENT: Giving Christmas Away Event (Nov 14-21)
This post contains editorial samples and/or affiliate links to products I recommend. While this adds no additional cost to you, I will earn a small commission on any sales made.
The wait is over! The BIG ANNOUNCEMENT is here!!
Energizer Bunnies’ Mommy Reports and My Four Monkeys
are partnering to support
World Vision
with
Giving Christmas Away
(November 14-21)
Over two months ago, God placed a “nugget” in my heart. I was reminded of how much my children have been blessed and that there are children who don’t even have the bare necessities to their name.
It felt like God was asking…
“Will you be My Hands and Feet ?”
Slowly He brought all the pieces together.
Angie over at My Four Monkeys shared in the Event’s vision and together we decided that it was time to do our biggest GIVE-AWAY this Christmas.
We agreed that the World Vision was an organization we both felt strongly about and when we bounced off our thoughts on them, they jumped on board in a heart-beat.
God was on the MOVE!
Why is this Event different?..
All the toys you see featured in the Event will be donated to our local World Vision chapters and to our local church charity/home for abused children.
Starting today, we are encouraging everyone to donate to one or both of these worthy World Vision causes…
(Remember, no donation is too small. Every dollar counts!)
1. Towards the Online Gift Catalog
2. Towards Christmas gifts for Kids in the US
Is that all?
No Siree!
What’s an Event like without prizes?
Thanks to our generous sponsors, there are some fan-tabulous prizes you can win!
Keeping in line with the theme of this Event, it would be great if you would bless a child less fortunate than your own with the prize you win but this is not a mandatory. We understand that times are hard and that this may go towards a Christmas gift for your own little one.
Will you help us “Give Christmas Away”?//
We’d love for you to:
1. Spread the buzz on your own blogs
2. Tweet this out:

Lets Give this Christmas Away!
.
.Be blessed!
So very cool!
I do Toys for Tots (anyplace you can give is a good place) because it is near and dear to my own heart.
Anytime we can give of ourselves we are enriching not only someone elses life, but our own. Christmas is truly about giving….
and I will be there to help with bells on- keeping my eyes peeled for the newsletter announcing when it begins!
Thank you so much Ellen!
Fantastic!! I support World Vision’s work and can’t wait for your event. 🙂
I tried to grab the Giving Christmas Away button for my blog, but it doesn’t show when I paste in the code. Maybe there’s something missing?? I’ll try back.
Just fixed the code.It should work now. Sorry ’bout that Jan
This is so nice of you I know that being a foster parent our agency has a hard time even finding sponsors to give to the foster children placed within our homes so the blessings you are giving are bringing joy to a few children and it is something they will not forget!
We’re praying the little we can do will be used by God to do much in their lives.Thank you for your support Gerri

This is such a great idea! One sponsor I am working with this year said she’d love to do a review IF we agreed to donate the toy afterwards. I LOVED the idea of that and this event as well!
I also shared the event on my FB wall

When I was financially able to do so, I used to give to World Vision in the names of people on my holiday list and included that as part of their gift. Such great work!

What a beautiful Giveaway!Thank you! What we may think of as very little, can mean so much to an underprivileged Child!! Part of our Thanksgiving celebration is that my kids go thru their toys, and choose some for donating to our City Rescue Mission. They distribute gently used toys, in a Christmas program they have.
