Looking for an Alternative giving option this Christmas? 

Instead of giving a traditional Christmas gift of a toy, sweater, tie, or CD, make a donation to a worthy local, national, or international charity in honor of a friend or loved one.  In lieu of material gifts, you purchase a life-altering present such as a safe drinking water system for a remote village in developing countries, a flock of chickens to feed and sustain a family, the gift of food, shelter, and life-changing counsel and training for a homeless person, and so many more possibilities!

Alternative Christmas is a more Christ-centered way to celebrate Christmas by providing alternative gift giving options such as charitable donations in honor of friends, colleagues or loved ones in lieu of material gifts.
