REEDSVILLE -- The 13th Alternative Gift Fair, hosted annually by East Kishacoquillas Presbyterian Church in Reedsville will be held by mail this year due to continuing COVID-19 concerns.
Individuals may make a donation in honor of a loved one to one or more of 17 non-profit organizations doing work in our area and around the world. You then receive a card to announce your gift. Some folks give in memory of a loved one, and others just make a donation. All monies received go to the non-profits.
This year, the Alternative Gift Fair is supporting the following:
The Abuse Network
EKPC Blessing Box
Friends of Mifflin County Library
Habitat for Humanity
