Making a difference in the lives of people, animals, and the planet.
Greetings of the season! The Alternative Christmas Shop Committee welcomes you to the 2026 Alternative Christmas Shop, where we offer 20 carefully selected charities for you to consider as alternative gift opportunities. Given in honor of family members, friends, colleagues, and others, your gifts directly help those in need as near as Swarthmore and as far as the Congo. Gifts range from $15 to $75 and may be multiplied if you wish to give more. 100% of each contribution goes directly to the charity selected and is fully tax deductible. This year, you may shop by mail at any time, or in person following worship services on Advent Sundays in Fellowship Hall.
