The 14th annual Gifts that Give Hope (GTGH) fair will take place on December 12, 2021, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Farm and Home Center, in Lancaster. The event champions 30 local and global organizations committed fighting poverty, improving healthcare, increasing safe and affordable housing and education, reducing trafficking and caring for the planet.

Marketplace vendors will sell fair trade, socially conscious, handmade items, Father Christmas will read stories while Music for Everyone and Scaling Walls a Note at a Time (SWAN) provide live music. Food trucks will also be on hand.

Organizer Jenn Knepper says, “Everyone feels tired of consumerism and the emphasis on getting more stuff. This event is an alternative to that mindset. Your gifts are going to organizations that are important to your loved ones.”
