Give a Gift, Change a Life: World Vision Launches Its 2026 Christmas Gift Catalog

Catalog offers handcrafted, celebrity-featured gifts supporting World Vision's work around the world

SEATTLE, Sept. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Christian humanitarian organization World Vision today unveiled its annual Gift Catalog and exclusive, handcrafted gifts featured by celebrity supporters. For more than three decades, the Christmas Gift Catalog has helped redefine what holiday giving looks like and offers a meaningful way for shoppers to give gifts that make a lasting impact. It has also allowed people to share Jesus' love and help children, families, and communities around the world lift themselves out of poverty through sustainable, community-led solutions. The catalog inspires a new generation of donors to embrace generosity and compassion—because when you give a gift, you can help change a life.

Longtime celebrity partners have selected new handcrafted gifts to spotlight this year, sharing meaningful pieces that celebrate the work of fair-trade artisans and raising awareness of World Vision's humanitarian work. With a donation to the World Vision Fund, receive a handcrafted gift for yourself or a loved one. They include:

• Actor, director, producer, and World Vision supporter since 2019, Melissa Joan Hart is featuring the "Faithfully Woven" travel pouch made by artisans in Guatemala. This silk and leather pouch is a quiet reminder that God's care goes with you—holding your essentials and your faith close at hand.
• Actor, producer, and World Vision supporter since 2023, Alexa PenaVega is featuring the "Called to Light" brass earrings. Made by Kenyan artisans, these brass and cow horn earrings reflect the beautiful contrast of light and dark—an artful reminder that God brings purpose and balance to all He creates.
• Kel Mitchell, actor, producer, author, and World Vision supporter since 2021, is featuring the "Patchwork of Promise" Kitenge apron. Sewn in Kenya, each panel reflects God's creativity and provision, turning the work of your hands into an act of gratitude and joy.
• Roma Downey, actor, producer, best-selling author and newest World Vision supporter, is featuring the "Heartfelt Ornament" angel wings, beautifully made in India from gold-toned iron sheet metal. Gift a pair of angel wings to someone you pray will be protected, or to someone who has been a loving protector to you.

"The Christmas season reminds us of the hope, generosity, and love that Jesus demonstrated through His life, and how we can embody that," said Melissa Joan Hart. "Having had the opportunity to see World Vision's work firsthand and witness the impact it has on children and families, I know that generosity can be about so much more than what we place under the tree. Through the Christmas Gift Catalog, families can celebrate that spirit in a tangible way, choosing gifts that help children and communities who are facing adversities around the world. It's a powerful reminder that even a simple gift can share God's love and create lasting change."

Donations to the World Vision Fund help support all the ways the organization works with children and families across the globe and have been a hallmark of showing Jesus' love in tangible ways. Donors can also gift essentials like access to clean water, healthcare, farm animals, economic tools and training, emergency aid, educational and child protection resources, and more to children, families, and communities in need around the world. When children and families have opportunities for brighter futures, their lives can begin to change.
