WHAT IS AN ALTERNATIVE GIFT FAIR?

The Ithaca Alternative Gift Fair is a fun way to bypass the annual stress of holiday shopping and “stuff” accumulation while honoring friends and relatives with donations to causes that fit their values. What’s more, the IthacaAlternative Gift Fair provides critical support for a diverse collection of community organizations whose work has local, national, and international reach.. Last year’s gift fair earned more than $66,000 for the participating organizations.

Come visit the Multicultural Resource Center’s table. This year we’re at the First Presbyterian Church.

The Ithaca Alternative Gift Fair is sponsored by The Center for Transformative Action and Tompkins Community Action.
