International Orthodox Christian Charities Updates Popular Holiday Gift Catalog

New Options for Gift-Giving Connect Donors with Global Humanitarian Programs

Baltimore, Md. (December 17, 2020) — With a refresh of its popular gift catalog, International Orthodox Christian Charities (IOCC) is offering gift-givers ways to share with loved ones while helping people in need at home and abroad.

With new gift items reflecting a range of humanitarian services, IOCC’s Gifts of Love catalog, available online (ioccgifts.org), showcases the impact that private donations have for people in need. The symbolic gifts, ranging from $10 to $10,000 and beyond, illustrate basic program costs across the regions where IOCC works.

From home repairs in Beirut to livestock for farming families, and from reliable access to safe water to hearing aids and glasses for children who need them, IOCC’s catalog highlights how donations of all sizes help improve the lives of women, children, and men around the world.

“Each act of generosity from our donors truly creates change,” said IOCC Director of Development and Communications Katrina Straker. “It doesn’t matter how large or small the gift. The catalog has become a beloved tradition for IOCC, and we hope folks will feel inspired and connected to the people they serve across the world.”

Gifts of Love can be accessed online at ioccgifts.org. Donations can be made online or by contacting IOCC at 410.243.9820.
