The Melrose Unitarian Universalist Church invites you to the Alternative Holiday Fair and Café on December 7 2019 from 10:00 am to 2:30 pm. The Alternative Fair is an “alternative” to mall shopping and provides a market for thoughtful and sustainable gifts from around the world, local businesses, and charitable causes.

All Fair vendors represent non-profit organizations and 100% of the sale proceeds benefit the vendor’s charity. Fair trade coffee, chocolate and tea will be available. Local and international charitable causes will be available for information and will accept donations. The Cafe Kitchen will be serving homemade soup and grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch. Come, shop, have an inexpensive lunch, and relax.

MUUC is a stop along the trolley route during Melrose’s annual Home for the Holidays, so relieve some holiday stress — hop aboard and shop, knowing that the gifts you buy also help those in need!

You will see lots of your friends and neighbors here – there are return-shoppers who say that they look forward to this particular fair every year because it is so different, focused on the things that matter deeply to them: environmental justice, local shopping, and social outreach.
