Holiday Benevolence Market
An alternative holiday giving experience
Sunday, December 8
Noon-3 p.m.
Covenant Presbyterian Church • 1065 Gaines School Road
At the Holiday Benevolence Market you can meet representatives from 30 Athens non-profit organizations. From a shopping list of ‘symbolic gifts’ from these agencies, you can choose to donate something needed in the name of someone with whom you would ordinarily exchange gifts. Instead of that scarf or tie that will never be worn, give a gift that will promote hope, health and well-being.
This market is specifically designed to share the vision and work of the incredible non-profit organizations all over Athens doing amazing work and for teaching our children and grandchildren about how simple acts of generosity can make such a huge impact. You can choose many symbolic gifts and write a single check or make a single credit/debit card transaction. Come, join a community-wide effort to support great work in our city!
If you are unable to attend the Market in-person, you can also purchase your symbolic gifts online at this link through Dec. 31, 2024:
