Trinity Episcopal and First Presbyerian co-sponsor "Loaves & Fishes Alternative Gifts Market" - Dec. 7th

Church Street neighbors Trinity Episcopal and First Presbyterian churches are sponsoring the annual “Loaves & Fishes Alternative Gift Market” on Sunday, December 7 (9:00AM-1:00 PM). The event will be hosted at Trinity Episcopal Church’s Tuton Hall (60 Church Street).

“Loaves & Fishes” is an opportunity to purchase a gift that matters to those in need.  When you make a purchase you will receive a holiday greeting card, envelope and gift insert that describes the type of donation and who it will benefit.  For example, a $5 donation could provide a coloring book & crayons for a child at the Black Mountain Home for Children, Youth & Families. A $25 donation could help house a woman in the Room in the Inn program of Homeward Bound.  

Brochures are available at Trinity and First Presbyterian churches and can also be downloaded at www.fpcasheville.org or www.trinityasheville.org . Pre-orders will not be able to be filled until the day of the market. Orders placed after the market will be received until December 16^th.  For more information please contact the First Presbyterian Church at 828-253-1431.
