This year’s Benevolence Market will be held on Sunday, Dec. 16, from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall of First Presbyterian Church downtown 185 E Hancock Ave, Athens, GA 30601. For more than 20 years, Athens area faith organizations have hosted the Holiday Benevolence Market, offering a single location to select gifts - in the form of donations - that support local non-profit organizations. Kind-hearted shoppers can select symbolic gifts ranging from $5-$150 and make a single payment at checkout. Symbolic gifts include things such as a bag of cat food for Campus Cats or a gallon of paint for Habitat for Humanity. You leave with a receipt and the good feeling you've helped a local organization do its job. All donations are tax deductable.
