Alternative gift fairs provide an opportunity to honor those we love with a gift that recognizes their generosity and reflects their compassion. Through alternative giving, your congregation can open a dialogue around the true meaning and purpose of gift giving – and explore a new dimension of faithfulness. All while assisting those who struggle not for materials goods but for their very survival.
