Alternative Gift Fair Offers Socially Responsible Shopping Experience10:02AM / Friday, November 21, 2008
Williamstown, Mass. – On Saturday, December 6 from 11 am-6 pm the Williams College Students for Social Justice group will be holding their 5th Annual Alternative Gift Fair in the Sanctuary of the First Congregational Church of Williamstown.
The Alternative Gift Fair is an opportunity to shop for socially responsible holiday gifts from local, regional, and national fair trade and non-profit organizations. Products will include handcrafts from around the world, local food products, and charitable and environmental gifts. Most proceeds support various non-profits, and the remainder go to environmentally and socially responsible businesses.
Some of the many vendors this year will include: the Greylock Chapter of ABC, who will be selling note cards featuring color floral photography by Phil Smith; the Sudan Relief Task Force, selling bags of their popular Sudanese Lentil soup mix; Heifer Project International, selling donations of animals to families in developing countries; the Thursday Night Group; Wild Oats Co-op, selling local, fair trade, and organic products; maple syrup made from trees in the College's Hopkins Forest, crafts from Nicaragua; beautiful pots and woven baskets from Malawi; crafts from an orphanage in Kenya; and pottery made by the Oak Bluffs Cottage Pottery Ceramic Artists. In addition the Students for Social Justice will be selling student-made crafts.
The First Congregational Church, United Church of Christ, is located at 906 Main Street (Rt. 2) in Williamstown, MA. The church is fully handicap accessible. Parking is available immediately behind the church off of Chapin Hall Drive. For more information contact the Church Office at 413-458-4273 or Office@firstchurchwilliamstown.org.
Students for Social Justice is a student activist group at Williams College whose main goal is to raise awareness on campus and in the community about different forms of social injustice in the United States and around the world while providing people with ideas of how they can work for peace, equality and understanding in their own lives. As activists, they conduct demonstrations on campus and organize dinner discussions where professors have a chance to speak with students outside of class about social justice in their fields of expertise.
They also hold annual events such as the Hunger Banquet and the Alternative Gift Fair, urging members of the community to appreciate their privilege and consider the responsibility they have to the rest of humanity. They are always eager to work on new projects whether they concern human rights, health, education, poverty, the environment, foreign policy or any other area where people struggle for social justice.
