In an Alternative Gift Market, shoppers dedicate their donations to their friends, family, and ultimately back to the world. With each purchase, participants receive an explanation of the cause and agency to which they are donating, as well as a free holiday card that they can give. Alternative gifts will be on sale at this year's Arts and Craft Fair, December 5th, 4-6pm RCC Ballroom and in Reid Campus Center 223 from 1:00PM-5:00PM December 5th-9th.
