The Wichita Alternative Gift Market is Saturday, November 15, and is a Market “Lite” – a fresh air event. It’s held in the parking lot of First Presbyterian Church, 525 N Broadway Ave.

The market is scaled down this year as a precaution:
- We are outside but still request that all shoppers and volunteers wear face coverings and observe social distancing.
- We end the event an hour earlier than usual.
- As an additional precaution there are no café or vendors. One exception is that 2021 international wall calendars are available from the Returned Peace Corps Volunteers of Kansas.
- No supervised childcare is available this year. However, a kids shopping list/activity packet is offered to young shoppers. (To preview or plan ahead, see pages 4-10 of AGI’s “Champions for Change” gift market for kids info packet.)
- There are still free ornaments representing most causes, and complimentary greeting cards with your donations.
- Preferred payment method: check payable to Alternative Gifts International. However, we do plan to accommodate other payment methods on market day.
Local projects included this year are:
- First Presbyterian Community Breakfast Mission
- Grace Presbyterian Bus Pass Ministry
- NAMI Wichita (National Alliance on Mental Illness, local chapter)
- Camp Sunflower, Inc.
