Gifts of Caring

What if you could give someone a gift that was so perfect that it wasn’t the wrong size or color, would never be returned or exchanged for something else, and that was able to help people in your community and around the world? Well you can find that perfect gift through our Virtual Alternative Gift Fair this Christrmas season from November 28 through December 21. Get an early start on your holiday shopping and purchase symbolic gifts through donations to some of our local, regional, and international organizations.

We have gifts available for any budget and your gifts will go a long way in helping people who desperately need them!

How it works:

You make a donation to a non-profit organization in honor of someone you wish to give a gift to … you can download a printable gift card (pdf) to present to the person you are honoring … you both get to experience the joy of helping someone in need, and the organization receives much needed funds to continue its work.

The form below for the Alternative Gift Giving will directly support some of the missions we fund. You will see a “shopping list” highlighting what a donation of $10, $15, $20, or more would do to help the organization provide for people it serves. Select which missions you would like to support in this way and enter the amounts of your donations in the entry fields. (You can enter any amount, not just the amounts shown.) You may mail a check with your donation directly to the church, or pay by credit card online.

  1. As you enter numbers, the order total at the bottom is updated. (Press tab, or click out of the entry field to update the order.)
  2. To mail a check, click the “Print Details” button and mail a copy of the printout with your check to the church office.
  3. To pay with a credit card, click the “Pay Online” button and you’ll be taken to the online payment form. The payment amounts will be filled out. Just add your contact info, credit card number, and click submit to make the payment.
  4. To use the Venmo app to send money to the church, indicate that its a donation for Alternate Gift Giving, and indicate which organizations are getting which amounts.

We thank you for your generous support of the Alternative Gift Fair and the organizations represented. Please note that many gifts are symbolic. As items become fully funded, your gifts will be used to help where the need is greatest within each organization.
