Alternative Gift Expo

 St. Paul’s Episcopal Cathedral is hosting their annual Alternative Gift EXPO 2011 featuring more than twenty non profit organizations. This event will take place one day only on Sunday, November 20 from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the courtyard of St. Paul’s Episcopal Cathedral located at 2728 6th Avenue in San Diego. Refreshments will be available from The Tomorrow Project and delicious desserts from St. Paul’s bake sale. There will be a special musical performance by the cathedral’s barbershop quartet and a succulent sale offered by members of Simpler Living.

The Alternative Gift EXPO is a way to support the local and global fight to end poverty and bring peace. By making a donation to one of the participating organizations, you are purchasing a gift that will help people in need locally and globally. Many of the gifts provide a way to purchase food and other critical items that will support many people.
