ALTERNATIVE CHRISTMAS FAIR
2021 marks the Alternative Christmas Fair’s 39th anniversary! COVID-19 concerns require us again this year to forego the in-person part of our event. But based on last year’s positive experience, we will continue to offer ACF holiday shoppers the opportunity to donate online or to pay by check between Dec. 5-19 to benefit our 29 participating local, national and international charities.
A quick trip to ubbcwelcome.org/acf will show you how to give online or by check. Last year, the charities shared in $43,575 given by generous people in our community. We’re pleased to report that since 1982 a total of $787,404 has been raised for charity by UBBC’s Alternative Christmas Fair.
Make the season merrier by supporting the good work of these charities! See you—virtually—at The Alternative Christmas Fair!
