What is an Alternative Gift Market?

 
 
A different kind of shopping experience...

Gifts are purchased in honor of family, friends, business associates and others in a market setting. Instead of buying a box of candy for Aunt Mary, a shopper at this market might decide to provide therapeutic feeding for Indonesian children or purchase a solar-powered computer for a rural school in Honduras. Then Aunt Mary receives an attractive gift card telling her about this unique present given in her honor.


The typical Market takes place in a special location, like a church patio or a neighborhood community center. Colorful booths are set up to represent the various Alternative Gift projects. Gifts are "purchased" by people attending the Markets, much as they would shop for traditional gifts in a store...except these gifts are for national and international humanitarian projects focused on saving lives and preserving our planet.

Why Alternative Giving?

  • Because so many of the world's critical needs today are going unmet.
  • Because of our need and capacity to give.
  • Because Uncle Harry doesn't need yet another silk necktie.
