Charitable giving on behalf of friends and family members is once again "a thing" in Tallahassee this holiday season. This Saturday will mark the 36th year for the Alternative Christmas Market at John Wesley United Methodist Church.
Alternative Christmas Market Co-chair Susan Capelouto said there will be more than 20 non-profit agencies on hand. Holiday shoppers then make donations to the agencies of their choice in the name of those on their gift list.
"Then you'll get a beautiful card that has lovely caligraphy and you'll give the card to that person and the agency will receive your donation."
The Alternative Christmas Market happens from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 2 at John Wesley United Methodist Church on Old St. Augustine Road.
