Honor Your Family and Friends While Sharing Good Food with Families in Need
Back by demand: the Alternative Christmas Art Print. This special print features Jim Harris’s artwork from the 2022 Christmas Card AND it shares good food in areas of high need.
Only 300 prints are available in this annual series from artist Jim Harris. If you’re interested in this special artistic gift, be sure to act fast!
Your gift honors your recipient while making a difference in the lives of the many Americans experiencing the reality of hunger and poverty this Christmas season. America is still the richest nation on earth, but more than 40 million of its citizens suffer in poverty. This Christmas you can give these families hope and some good food. You can do this by honoring your loved ones with a gift and a donation to SoSA.
The Gift
Each print is available with a $35 (minimum) gift donation to The Society of St. Andrew (SoSA) and shares more than 1,500 servings of fresh fruits and vegetables with families in great need.
The illustration is 8” x 10” and is featured on an 11” x 14” matte. A standard 11” x 14” frame works perfectly and makes for an extra special gift this holiday season.
The Print
The Alternative Christmas Print features artwork designed exclusively for, and donated to, The Society of St. Andrew by Virginia artist James Harris.
The full-color, 11″ x 14” print features the artwork at the dimensions of 8” x 10”. This print is accompanied by a short letter that announces your generous gift to feed the hungry in the name of your chosen honoree(s).
The Artist
Jim Harris, an artist and pastor from Staunton, Virginia, shares his faith-filled talent with the Society of St. Andrew, through a series of paintings that began being featured on SoSA’s Alternative Christmas Cards, beginning in 2018.
Jim combines a love for biblical narrative, color, texture, and mystery into his work, delighting the eye and nourishing the soul. More of Jim’s work can be seen at: https://jim-harris.pixels.com.
The Artist’s Inspiration
The young boy across from me at our church’s food pantry table seemed hesitant to take any of the bread spread before him. When I offered him a loaf of French bread and he clutched it to his chest.
At that moment I saw the bread as a little lamb and the child as a young shepherd boy bringing his precious lamb to give to baby Jesus. The great majority of our food pantry patrons are very careful to take only what they need, being concerned for the needs of others, even when we tell them to take all they want.
The power of giving for the sake of others is that it blesses us as much as it does them. It would not be easy to give away your favorite lamb, but look at his face, glowing with the joy of giving. This is the joy I feel in sharing my God-given gift to help End Hunger.
This is why we give to The Society of St. Andrew. There is a need, and we can help. When we truly care about the needs of others, we naturally share what we can to help them, no matter who they are or why they are in need.
I am extremely grateful to The Society of St. Andrew for allowing me to give my art to this great cause. Bless you, for caring about hungry people and sharing this card with others so they too can care and share. Merry Christmas!” -Artist, Jim Harris
