St Andrews Presbyterian Church's Alternative Gift Market

Myrna Farraj shops at the annual Alernative Gift Market at the St Andrews Presbyterian Church on Melrose Ave in Iowa City on Sunday November 18, 2012. The market serves as an opportunity for St. Andrew families and community members to donate money on someone's behalf to the mission project of their choice in areas of medical mission projects, development projects, projects involving child survival, the environment, and education. Local organizations were present at the market, but most projects are located outside the United States. While the market ended on Sunday, the causes can still be supported through the end of the year by stopping by the church offices Monday through Friday during business hours. (Justin Torner/Freelance)
