What We're All About
We are a nonprofit community organization that is 100% volunteer-driven!
Each year, the Gift Fair draws people from our community and beyond for a joyful celebration of meaningful gift-giving during the holidays. In 2020, we hosted a virtual fair because of the COVID pandemic and sold over $22k in alternative gifts.
