It's Gift Fair day! Here are 10 reasons to come join us TODAY between 9am and 12pm:
9. There will be free coffee, hot cider, and homemade baked goods.
8. The MA choir, led by Cliff Huckabee, will sing at 10:30.
7. You're curious to know what an alternative gift is.
6. You need a gift for that person who "has it all."
5. You want a peaceful, fun way to buy Christmas or holiday gifts.
4. You are an Alabama fan and have some free time on your hands.
3. You are an Auburn fan and want to make alternative gift-giving a priority.
2. You want your children to learn that Christmas and the holidays are not just about getting more "stuff."
1. The average American household spends over $1,000 on holiday decorations, food, and gifts. You wonder what would happen in our community if some of that money was spent on helping our neighbors.
What are we missing?

Looking for a meaningful gift to give this year? Try an "alternative gift”---a charitable donation that funds a specific need in our community through one of our 32 inspiring nonprofit groups. Starting at $5, you may honor your family, friends, co-workers, teachers, or clients by giving construction materials, medical supplies, children’s books, food, and more, to our neighbors in need.
