Cayuga Dog Rescue at Alternative Gift Fair

Cayuga Dog Rescue is participating in this year's Ithaca Alternative Gift Fair, which offers an opportunity to give charitable donations as holiday gifts for friends and relatives.

The Fair will be held from 11 am to 7 pm, Saturday, December 5, in two adjacent locations: the First Presbyterian Church, 315 North Cayuga Street, and the First Baptist Church, 309 North Cayuga Street. Over 55 organizations will be represented at the Fair, which started in 2004 and has grown each year.

Gifts at the Fair start at $5, and each gift you buy comes with a free greeting card and an insert about the organization you are supporting. All of the money collected at the Fair goes directly to the participating organizations. The Ithaca Alternative Gift Fair is sponsored by the Center for Transformative Action and TCAction, with financial support from Alternatives Federal Credit Union.

We hope to see you at the Fair! It's a wonderful way to learn about our community, share holiday cheer with others, support Cayuga Dog Rescue, and give gifts that have less impact on the environment.
