The Johnston Alternative Gift Market
The Alternative Gift Market is a joy-filled answer to the common dilemma. What do you get the person who has everything? The AGM is filled with unique gift ideas designed to delight the recipient and help those less fortunate in our community, and beyond, experience better lives. “When you purchase a gift through the Alternative Gift Market, you are building partnerships with people in need in Des Moines and throughout the world” said Bill O’Connell, St Paul Presbyterian Church’s pastor. “You will be doing something meaningful and it will also make you and your gift recipients feel great!” 100% of all gifts go directly to the non-profit selected! St Paul Presbyterian Church is honored to support the work of these worthy agencies and receives none of the proceeds from the Johnston Alternative Gift Mart. This is our gift to the community and an expression of our gratitude to God! The Johnston Alternative Gift market is at St Paul on Saturday, December 7th from 10:00am till 2:00pm or “shopping” online at Find just the right gift for each person on your list as you shop from 21 international projects and seventeen local non-profits including: Animal Rescue League of Iowa Central Iowa Shelter and Services ChildServe CROSS Outreach Genesis Youth Foundation Greater Des Moines Habitat for Humanity Hope Ministries Johnston Partnership Johnston Community Food Pantry Garden Jungle Vine and Nature Bags Legacy of Light Many Hands Thrift Store Ronald McDonald House of Des Moines Rotary Club of Johnston Self-Help International Veterans in Agriculture Wings of Refuge After you are done shopping you can check out with your credit card and take an informative insert describing the good each recipient's gift will be doing in the world!
