Alternative Christmas Fair

Alternative Christmas Fair

The 43rd version of The Alternative Christmas Fair will be held from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., Sunday, December 7 at University Baptist & Brethren Church, 411 S. Burrowes Street in State College. The ACF is a community-building gathering, a celebration of the wonderful services available in Centre County. It’s an opportunity for representatives of local charities to connect with other groups doing related work, one-stop holiday gift shopping for everyone, a delicious meal, and a beloved State College holiday tradition. Since it began in 1982 the Fair has raised more than a million dollars for participating charities. Thirty local, national, and international charities will participate. At the event, people visit the booths and displays set up by each charity. They are provided with a form where they can designate the charities they want to support and the amount they want to give to each. With one check or credit card swipe they can do all of their year-end charitable giving. Cards and envelopes are provided so that shoppers can designate gifts in the names of loved ones or friends. And a tasty lunch of soup, sandwich and sweets is available too. There is also an online giving option for those who cannot come to the event on December 7. The Online Alternative Christmas Fair will be open from November 30 to December 21 and is found at https://ubbcwelcome.org/acf/.
