Gifts That Give Hope Fair

Come enjoy a stress-free, non-commercial holiday shopping experience while supporting local nonprofit organizations. Shoppers make donations in honor of friends and family as holiday gifts. Show your children how to give back to the community! Kids can shop for grandparents, teachers and friends from specially designed children's shopping lists where all gift donations are $5. There will also be professional holiday pictures with Santa, music, stories for children, and refreshments!

There will be 13 nonprofits: Arlingtonians Meeting Emergency Needs, Art For Humanity, A-SPAN, Borromeo Housing, Doorways For Women and Children, First Book, Friends of Gulf Branch Nature Center, Homeless Children’s Playtime Project, Just Neighbors, Marshall Legacy Institute, Mason Leach Superstar Fund, Offender Aid Restoration, and Randolph Elementary School PTA.

Online shopping is also available beginning November 29 through December 20.
