Make plans to attend the 18th Annual Gifts That Give Hope Fair

On November 30, 2025, Gifts That Give Hope (GTGH) invites you to gift thoughtfully this holiday season at their 18th annual event from 11AM–3PM at the Lancaster Farm & Home Center. Promoting charitable and conscientious gift giving, this free event offers a chance for the community to shop local with a variety of vendors and nonprofits at their alternative gift fair.

At the core of the Gifts That Give Hope‘s mission is the option to give a donation to a nonprofit on behalf of a loved one. Dedicated to helping the community for nearly two decades, Gift That Gives Hope has been sharing this passion to make more conscientious choices when shopping.

“GTGH Lancaster is excited to welcome both new and familiar faces to the 18th annual fair—an event that is part of yearly holiday traditions as families, friends, coworkers and neighbors connect over lunch and a unique shopping experience that promotes altruism. We’re excited for another year of building connections, philanthropy, and being a conscientious consumer.”

Jennifer Knepper, Founder and Board Member
