Alternative Gift Fair

The Alternative Gift Fair is an annual event held at the beginning of December, providing the Greenville area with a "shopping spot" to purchase holiday gifts for friends and family. It's an opportunity to give your friends and family gifts that will make the world a better place, rather than objects that will only accumulate in their closets. At the Alternative Gift Fair, you have the opportunity to donate money to worthy causes in the name of people you care about, and there a smorgasbord of organizations to choose from!

    Volunteer Opportunities
    A public relations person to help promote the event through press releases, etc.
    Volunteers to work the day of the event
