Alternative Gift Markets Raise Money for the World's Needs

At Alternative Gift Markets, the gifts help alleviate poverty and disease, or promote education and sustainable development. Instead of traditional gifts like chocolates, flowers, or jewelry, shoppers can buy a gift that supports humanitarian projects.  On The Point, Mindy Todd talks about this season’s Alternative Gift Markets in our area, where you can purchase food for Haitian children, or a solar oven for a rural village in Uganda. Guests Jane Jackson, Christine Michelson, Paige Roth, and Shelia Place share information on the Alternative Gift Markets for the Upper Cape, Barnstable, and Fairhaven.
