In its 17th year of celebrating and encouraging charitable giving, Gifts That Give Hope Lancaster’s annual gift fair will be taking place on
Sunday, December 1st, at the Farm and Home Center from 11am-4pm
While at the gift fair, shoppers will be able to engage with each of this year’s nonprofit organizations and choose who they’d like to support with gifts for loved ones on their holiday gift list; enjoy food and beverages from local eateries; and peruse fair trade goods, social enterprises, business for good, environmentally friendly & ethically sourced gifts in the marketplace.
In addition to the shopping opportunities, there was a Human Rights Day Scavenger hunt throughout the day for interested participants of all ages to take part in to learn about the respective nonprofits in the area that are working to address various articles of the Declaration.
First recognized on December 10, 1948, the gift fair carries out this tradition to engage and inform our audience to understand how we all have a role to play in making the world a more just, equitable, fair and peaceful place for everyone. Upon completion of the scavenger hunt, participants earned a FREE book!
Food is always available for purchase throughout the day from some of Lancaster’s favorite food establishments (both food trucks and stands)... we had Stroopies, Walk-O-Taco, pHresKoo Haitian Lemonade, Isabelle Cuisine: West African & Fusion Fare, Gourmet Julie’s Way, DutchCounty Concessions, Cafe 301, Traveling J’s, and Character Coffee Cart.
