Gifts that Keep on Giving
La Jolla Community Church is hosting the seventh Alternative Gift Market on Sunday, November 18, 2018, from 10:00 am to 12:15 pm. The San Diego community is invited to shop for alternative Christmas gifts from Christian non-profit vendors who make a difference locally and globally. Shoppers will have the opportunity to purchase non-traditional gifts that will bless their friends and family while blessing others in need! Shop for hand-crafted, fair-trade items such as jewelry and decorations, as well as gifts-in-kind. Prices for items will vary. There is no cost to enter the market. Please note: Some vendors will be accepting cash only.
