Shopping That Supports Local Families


This year’s Holiday Market benefits CarePortal, which helps connect the needs of local children and families with churches and community members who can help meet them. That means your day at the Holiday Market can do more than kick off the Christmas season. Every ticket, purchase, bid, and gift helps us turn holiday generosity into care for our neighbors.
