What Is The Gift Fair?
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.
Since our inception in 2008, we have raised over $375,000
for nonprofits to support their work in :
- providing nourishing meals to hungry school children
- affordable and safe housing for those who face barriers to stable & a secure home
- job training
- loans for women living in extreme poverty
- access to skill acquisition for a women rescued from trafficking
- musical instruments & instruction for vulnerable children
- welcoming and move-in supplies for newly arrived refugees and more!!
