Gifts of Hope Alternative Gift Market

Give a gift of hope for the person who has everything -- or even a person who doesn't.

Are you looking for a Christmas gift for someone who has everything? Then be sure to shop the First Congregational Church’s Annual Gifts of Hope Alternative Gift Market on Sunday, December 13. Guests are invited to come to Plymouth Hall anytime between 9:30am and 12:30pm, enjoy refreshments, and learn about several local, regional, and international charitable organizations. Shoppers can then make donations to various charities on behalf of people on their Christmas list. Cards will be given out explaining the gift that was given on their friend or loved one’s behalf. (To view the Gifts of Hope shopping list, see Latest News at wscongo.org.)

Some organizations will have unique merchandise on hand to sell. Over the years, tens of thousands of dollars have been raised and given away through the Gift of Hope market. For further information, call 708/246-1900 or visit www.wscongo.org. The First Congregational Church of Western Springs is located at 1106 Chestnut Street in Western Springs. Cash, credit card and checks accepted.
