Alternative Gift Market at Crossroads UMC in Ashburn

A non-traditional way to give a gift AND support a worthy cause

Crossroads United Methodist Church (UMC) in Ashburn is excited to announce that we will be hosting our second annual Alternative Gift Market on November 9, 2025 from 10am-2pm. This kind of market is a non-traditional way for you to give a meaningful gift that will help someone in need or support a worthy cause. For example: instead of exchanging a gift with a friend who probably has way too many things to begin with, you can provide a gift of love by donating to one of the many worthy nonprofits. At this Alternative Gift Market, you can shop for different gifts that will be meaningful for different people on your holiday list. This market will feature a total of 25 non-profit organizations: 19 that serve the local community, 2 that serve the USA, and 4 that serve internationally. The list of participating organizations can be found at crossroadsnova.org/alternative-gift-market/. When you donate, you will receive an attractive holiday card and an insert describing your gift.

Please mark your calendar for November 9, 2025 from 10am-2pm and experience this delightful way of giving firsthand. Crossroads United Methodist Church is located at 43454 Crossroads Dr, Ashburn, VA 20147.
