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
