Give The Gift of Fruit Baskets Where They’re Needed Most

The popular and age-old wisdom is that the holiday season is the time for giving. We give gifts to our friends, relatives, and colleagues out of affection, appreciation, and sometimes – let’s be honest – obligation. Our enthusiasm for giving the gift often determines the amount of time and money we spend selecting it, and how far in advance we make the purchase.

But the holiday season is also the time to do something good, to reach outside ourselves and our own lives to help others. Unfortunately, it’s the time when local charities feel their greatest need for assistance. Besides local charities, many semi-private organizations feel their budges pinched and their resources stretched during the cold winter months at the end of the year.

We believe assorted fruit baskets, fruit towers, and citrus fruit baskets make a great donation to several different kinds of charitable and semi-private organizations. A few of them are listed just below:

Retirement Communities

Fruit baskets are bright, cheerful, and welcoming, offering a note of joy and carefree exuberance to the young and the elderly alike. Retirement community residents will love to see that someone’s thought of them, and the delicious fresh citrus fruit will provide an important dietary resource for their bodies, including helpful calcium and fiber.

Local Area Shelters

Just like retirement communities, local area homeless shelters will appreciate the fresh citrus fruit baskets for their ample supplies of fresh citrus fruit and other delights. The fresh citrus fruit can be used in making any variety of dishes or be used whole directly by the homeless shelter diners. Your gift fruit basket will help give people using the shelter a nutritional boost that they too likely desperately need.

Halfway Houses

A place and purpose many people overlook during the holiday season, halfway houses nevertheless will love to see the gesture of consideration and encouragement that the gift fruit basket provides. An assorted fruit basket, one containing many different kinds of fruits and several different flavors, will make the donation even more special.

Local Fire Houses

Finally, you can also send a gift fruit basket to your local firehouse, as a gesture of appreciation for their vigilance. The gift fruit tower is an especially nice choice here, as its vertical presentation and unique design sense will make a hit with the firemen, presenting as it does a “building” of fruit to climb.
