Annual Alternative Christmas Market

Plan to join us at Covenant Presbyterian Church at 201 North Limestone Street in Springfield, Ohio, which will host its Annual Alternative Christmas Market on Sunday, December 3rd, 2023, from 11:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. This is an ALTERNATIVE approach to commercial Christmas shopping while caring for our community. Shoppers talk to representatives from fifteen local and global organizations and fill out a shopping list of items like containers of laundry detergent or kitchen trash bags (for Christ Church Food Pantry. Items like these symbolize a monetary contribution to the organization, in the name of a loved one. While the shopper waits at Covenant’s food court, a personalized card is prepared for the recipient of the gift, describing the item that has been given in his or her name. All gifts purchased are tax deductible, but no names are put on any mailing list.
