All proceeds are distributed to the participating not-for-profit charities.

Shoppers come to the event to find fabulous handmade crafts, jewelry, food, textiles and holiday items and celebrate the spirit of Christmas with gifts that go on giving. 

Please join us to celebrate the season and share in the spirit of giving:

• Buy unique, one-of-a-kind gifts
• Treat yourself to an uplifting experience
• Help those in need at the same time
  

Some Charity Vendors sell gift items

A Donation Table also provides gift certificates

to be given in lieu of a gift.

At our heart, we are an ecumenical, faith-based initiative, which promotes the idea of seeking creative ways to gift. Gift Twice means using money that we might already budget for gifts on special occasions and directing it in a way that allows us to provide a gift for our loved ones and a gift for a charity of our choice at the same time. Originally started in 2000, the event is now in its tenth year - and growing rapidly.

We welcome and include all faiths to join us in our mission.

The event was originally named the Alternative Christmas Fair when it was founded in 2000. Since the event takes place in November and provides gifts for all occasions, the name has been changed to Alternative Gift Fair (AGF) in 2010.
