Consider an alternative gift for loved ones on your Christmas list this year

GIFT HOPE MGM | A new way to give this Christmas
Saturday, December 7 | 9 am – Noon | FUMC Montgomery
Gift Hope MGM will offer people in the River Region an opportunity to rethink the traditional Christmas gift, by giving them a better alternative – giving hope to someone in need. Gift Hope MGM, formerly the Alternative Gift Fair, exists to support area ministries and nonprofits by hosting an event that allows people to purchase a variety of “gifts” in honor or in memory of a friend or loved one. These gifts don’t end up under your tree, rather they end up helping dozens of organizations make a positive and tangible impact in lives all across the River Region.

By supporting Gift Hope MGM, you are helping to fund specific needs of the Capital Area Adult Literacy Council and other organizations – for example, books and educational materials for adults who struggle with reading, a week’s worth of hot meals for an elderly couple in need, or one night’s shelter for a homeless family. (Gifts will be available at a variety of prices, starting at $5.) The gift recipient will receive from the gift purchaser a card announcing the gift/gifts made in the recipient’s name and the name/names of the designated nonprofits.

Gift Hope is being sponsored by the Church & Society Work Area of the First United Methodist Church in Cloverdale Park.  Come to the event on December 7 and support us.  Online shopping will be available December 8 – December 15 at www.fumcmontgomery.org/gifthopemgm/.
