During the holiday season, giving and receiving meaningful gifts is on the to-do-list. This year, Santa Cruz based marine conservation nonprofit, Save Our Shores (SOS), makes it easy by offering charitable gifts that give back. “Gift The Gift Of Ocean Health” is the message behind the organization’s first annual Gift Catalog.
The charitable gifts reflect the many programs and activities SOS provides to protect the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary on a daily or weekly basis. Gifts range from supporting K-12 marine ecology education programs and field trips, beach or river cleanups, and funding community outreach for clean boating or plastic pollution awareness. Giving the gift of ocean health is easy:
- Go online: saveourshores.org/gift
- You choose a gift for a loved-one
- SOS sends you a special gift card to dedicate
- You personalize your holiday message
The conception comes from the nonprofit’s executive director, Katherine O’Dea, to expand the organization’s impact and keep the Monterey Bay’s marine environment healthy. “Your gift will not only give joy to the recipient, it will also give back to the ocean in need,” says O’Dea. “It’s a great way to celebrate this season of love, hope, and renewal.”
