Seven Creative Ideas for Giving Tribute Cards This Christmas
December 4, 2020
So, how can you spread Christmas cheer with Tribute Cards from Water Mission? Here are seven creative ideas:
1. Inspire a teacher: When it comes to people to thank this year, teachers are high on almost every parent’s list. Water Mission team member, Laura Thompson, says, “It’s a great way to show my kids’ teachers that I am thankful for the impact they make every day—by giving them a gift that makes an impact on someone else’s life.” Your Tribute Card gift will help provide safe water to communities so children can attend school rather than having to walk long distances to fetch water. 443 million school days are missed each year due to the global water crisis, and your gift will make a huge impact on children—and their teachers—around the world.
2. Honor a healthcare professional: Perhaps no one knows better the impact of safe water than those in the healthcare field. Remember the doctors, nurses, and other professionals who are working tirelessly under tough conditions. Your gift provides safe water that prevents waterborne illnesses and helps people thrive.
3. Encourage an essential worker: From the postman and delivery drivers to grocery store clerks and sanitation workers, where would we be without these unsung heroes this year? Honor them with a gift that helps ensure longer, healthier, and happier lives for people around the world.
4. Engage a co-worker or employee: You may have only been able to connect with them on Zoom this year but generosity can bridge the distance. Start a new conversation with a gift that brings awareness to the global water crisis. “By making a Christmas donation in their names, you can honor your co-workers and let them know about a cause you deeply care about,” says Water Mission team member Michael Pouw.
5. Ignite a young person: A Tribute Card invites your children, grandchildren, and other youth in your life to get involved in helping solve the global water crisis. Your gift becomes an avenue to provide hope to people who lack safe water around the world while inspiring the next generation.
6. Lift up a family member: Start a new tradition in your family that will have more impact than anything you could put under the tree. Honor a parent, aunt, uncle, or sibling with the gift that provides safe water, enabling parents to spend more time caring for their children. As Elizabeth Hiott from Water Mission says, “I always struggle to find the perfect gift for my parents. Christmas Tribute Cards make gift-giving both easy and meaningful.”
7. Surprise someone: Send a card to connect with your new neighbor, an old friend that has moved away, a distant relative, or perhaps someone new that God brings across your path. If you look for opportunities to share the good news of safe water and the Living Water of Jesus Christ, who knows what Christmas miracles could happen.
When you give a person access to safe water in the name of Jesus, you give them access to Hope, Life, Unity, and Peace. Make it a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year for all the important people in your life, and for our brothers and sisters around the world with the gift of safe water through a Water Mission Tribute Card.
And don’t forget: To ensure time for mailing, be sure to order your Tribute Card gifts by Wednesday, December 16. E-cards will be available after this date.
