Gift Catalog Archives

When a family received Gift Catalog animals from World Vision, they agree that at some future date — usually in about a year’s time — they will donate the same number of animals to another family in need. The program is called Pass On, and it’s a way to keep the gift of animals reaching people who face the greatest need.
