Give a fruit gift and feed the hungry

Here's a great holiday gift idea: Send someone a pound of gourmet pears from Naumes Fruit Gifts -- a family-owned farm based in Medford, Oregon -- and Naumes will match it with fruit donated to a food bank. That's right: The company matches every gift, pound for pound, with a donation to feed the hungry. I love it: Every gift gives twice! And given that many people who are stretched economically tend to rely on cheap, processed foods, a gift of fruit is all the more valuable -- it's a gift of healthy eating.
