ALTERNATIVE GIFT MARKET

 

Each fall, a group of local church and philanthropic organizations host a new kind of market that brings the true spirit of giving into the holiday season.  The Alternative Gift Market is an opportunity to purchase gifts that make a difference.  

For example, a shopper might buy a $5 share to support the Heifer Project or buy a $20 share to help build wheelchairs for people in Africa.  With each purchase, the shopper is given a gift card.  When it is time to give a holiday gift, the shopper simply fills out card by adding the name of the person receiving the gift. 

"Three shares in the Heifer Project have been purchased in the name of

Jane Doe

Thank you for helping people around the world feed themselves."

Handcrafted items are also available to sell at the Alternative Gift Market. To learn about the 2005 Alternative Gift Market, click here.
