An Alternative Christmas Market is coming to Davidsonville United Methodist Church
on Nov. 4-5. Shoppers may buy gifts and help women in less-developed countries.
The
United Methodist Women are sponsoring the sale that has items such as toys,
scarves, placemats, jewelry, various baskets, scented soaps, stationery sets
and different olive wood items from Ten Thousand Villages. This organization
buys the products from the women and then markets them in the United States.
Selling
goods from Ten Thousand Villages directly helps people with little access to
other ways to earn income. They will also donate 10 percent of the proceeds to
the UMW for hosting the event. This will go to a shelter for battered women.
The market will be from 10
a.m. to 3 p.m. Nov. 4 and noon to 4 p.m. Nov. 5 at the Davidsonville United
Methodist Church, 819 Central Ave. For more information, visit www.dumc.net.
