A recent survey by the national non-profit, the Center for a New American Dream, revealed that 70 percent of Americans would welcome holidays with less emphasis on material gift giving and spending!

Lancaster’s 4^th annual Alternative Gift Fair raised over $24,000 for 30 different non-profit agencies in our community and around the world! We THANK everyone who made a purchase or volunteered time in some way to make the fair possible!

Missed the alternative gift fair? You can now purchase gifts YEAR ROUND at Ecoloco, 55 East Main Street, Lititz PA 17543. Our shopping cart will also reopen soon on this website where you may place an order and we will mail your cards and inserts to you! Keep checking back.

We will feature different non-profits each month depending on the month. JANUARY is Human Trafficking Awareness month as well as honoring MLK Jr Day. Here are the non-profits we are featuring in January:

4-more
St Peter's Tanzania Mission
JWW Solar Cooker Project 
LOVE 146
Compassion International 
Partners in Health

 Our entire gift list from the 2011 gift fair is available for purchase at EcoLoco.
 
Ecoloco's website is www.ecolocogifts.com where they sell fair trade and socially
conscious/eco-friendly gifts as well so it really is a good fit for the
alternative gift fair.

Purchasing Alternative gifts is an opportunity to give back and MAKE A DIFFERENCE to the larger community and honor your friends and loved ones at the same time. Instead of purchasing traditional gifts, participants purchase meaningful donations to local and global non-profits while improving the lives of others whoe are not on anyone's gift list!!
