JOY OF GIVING

ALTERNATIVE GIFT GUIDE

THE JOY OF GIVING Dear Westminster Community, For the last 14 years, the Alternative Gift Fair has been a joyous, holiday-spirit-filled family event that encompasses cheerful fellowship and service. A variety of student groups, vendors, volunteers, and attendees make the Alternative Gift Fair an event to remember every year. This year, The Glenn Institute and PAWS Community Service Committee are excited to welcome Westminster families, neighbors, and friends back to campus for this treasured annual event to celebrate the joy of giving.

We are excited to also introduce a new tradition: the Alternative Gift Guide. Created in 2020 as a way to virtually offer the Alternative Gift Fair to the community, we quickly realized that the guide allowed for a wider audience to participate in the Alternative Gift Fair and decided to continue to offer it alongside the in-person event. Please enjoy browsing the Alternative Gift Guide and consider supporting our student and community partner organizations. From coffee and tea to handmade jewelry and Christmas ornaments, both shopping experiences include something for everyone on your shopping list! Your purchases and donations made at the Alternative Gift Fair and through the Alternative Gift Guide directly impact local and global charitable organizations and nonprofits.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

With gratitude, The Glenn Institute

PAWS Community Service Committee

We've sprinkled in photos from the Alternative Gift Fair in years past—enjoy reminiscing with us as you shop!

Agape Youth and Family Center Lily Hernandez, Virginia Hernandez, and Selena Patel

Agape's mission is to empower and support underserved families to discover, embrace, and achieve their full potential. Agape's after-school programs promote academic achievement, reading proficiency by third grade, high school graduation, character development, and post-graduation placement for 225 children in grades K through 12 in Westside Atlanta. Agape provides after-school tutoring, summer camp programs, one-on-one tutoring, mentorship, and hot meals nightly. This is even more important now, during the pandemic, as learning loss has occurred with virtual learning and support is needed for academic recovery.

The funds raised from our table will go toward our Agape Teen Leaders fundraising program and afterschool programming for children enrolled in Agape. We hope to raise at least $500 at the Alternative Gift Fair through ornament and jewelry sales. This would go toward our total goal of $4000 through Agape Teen Leaders.

Audrey’s Angels Ellie McCollum

In 2010, Audrey was diagnosed with stage 4 neuroblastoma at the young age of 5. Over the past 10 years, Audrey endured harsh treatments at hospitals around the country, undergoing numerous trials to find a cure.

She was given a less than 5% chance of survival after her relapse.

Since childhood cancer only makes up about 4% of the national cancer research budget, Audrey's Angels was started in 2016. Audrey invited four of her closest friends to brainstorm ideas on how to help other children with this disease. The group of friends decided to create colorful angels made of recycled aluminum cans. Audrey and her friends then teamed up to form a charity with the aspirations of helping children who were going through cancer treatment by raising funds to find less toxic and more effective treatments to combat this deadly disease. By donating all proceeds to larger charities (www.solvingkidscancer.org and www.rallyfoundation.org), Audrey’s Angels hopes children will not have to endure what Audrey did in their pursuit of a cure.

Children's Hunger Fund McKenzie Love Jordan

Children's Hunger Fund is a Christian-centered organization that is giving back to communities in need.

Using "Food Paks," funded by donors like you and me, the organization distributes meals to volunteers and pastors around the world. From there, the pastors/volunteers give meals directly to families in need. They also collect volunteers to pack meals and have a lot of volunteer locations across the United States. Places they give to include Ethiopia, Peru, Belarus, the Philippines, Thailand, Cuba, Haiti, Zambia, the Dominican Republic, and more! Several volunteers say that volunteering really brings them together with their church community, and they have fun helping people who are less fortunate than them. Meals only cost 25 cents each, so a dollar provides four meals! My goal is to raise at least 100 dollars, which will provide 400 meals to families all over the world. I love to donate and make an impact, and business is a great way to make donation money!

HeART for Children Katherine Andrews

HeART for Children's coloring book was created to bring joy to the lives of children fighting cancer. The books consist of line drawings created by kids within the Westminster community, and they were created to give art to children made by children. Two hundred coloring books were donated to the Aflac Cancer & Blood Disorders Center at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta last spring, and 40 were donated to Seattle Children's Hospital over the summer. Due to the overwhelming support of the Westminster community, the Glenn Institute, and all of the kids who donated their line drawings, the coloring books were a huge success! Our goal is to fully fund Volume 2 this year through fundraising, including selling Volume 1 individually at the Alternative Gift Fair and through the Gift Guide.
