Oxfam America's Unwrapped catalog offers items that symbolically represent the organization's lifesaving work. Each purchase is a contribution toward Oxfam's many programs that help people living in poverty throughout the world.  

"There is still time to make a difference," said Stephanie Kurzina, vice president of fundraising and communications at Oxfam America.   "Visit OxfamGifts.com and choose a unique gift that does good.  Personalize an e-card that can be instantly delivered to a loved one and Oxfam will deliver life changing services and products to someone in need."

These last minute gifts can make a long-term difference:

• donkeys ($100) are used in Sudan to help people help themselves by building a local economy;
• choose a water pump ($135) to help flood-damaged areas such as El Salvador to help bring clean water to villagers; and
• stocking cereal banks ($275) has helped people in Gambia overcome food scarcity.

Or choose from over 70 other gifts ranging from $12 (manure) to $5,000 (help a village recover from a disaster). 

All gift contributions are general donations to support Oxfam America's mission of fighting poverty, hunger and social injustice in over 90 countries around the world. Gifts are fully tax-deductible.  For more information on how to gift better this holiday season, visit OxfamGifts.com.
