"I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in . . . I was sick and you looked after me . . . Whatever you did for one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you did also for me" (Matthew 25:35-36,40).

The Alternative Gift Market is held once a year at Christmas to share the spirit of giving by supporting worthy charitable organizations in the Bay Area and around the world.  In the past 5 years, nearly $250 thousand have been raised.  The Alternative Gift Market benefits a wide variety of worthy projects around the world and purchasers of donations get a handsome gift card for their loved one, describing the donation within. The AGM is set up in Guild Hall after worship services in late November and early December. Online catalog details are also available around that time. Don't miss this unique chance to get an early start on Christmas shopping and at the same time support various life-giving projects from around the world and near to home. You will be able to purchase food for the hungry, care for the sick, shelter for the homeless, renewal for our planet and much more - truly meaningful alternatives to the usual holiday gifts - in honor of your family, friends, neighbors, colleagues and children's teachers. For more information, contact Rev. Don Ashburn at (510) 547-5700 or don@piedmontchurch.org.
