Social Action Holiday Gift Fair: Save the Date and Vendors and Volunteers Invited!

The 2025 Social Action Holiday Gift Fair will be held on Sunday, December 7, 12:00 pm-4:00 pm!! Save the date for your own holiday shopping, volunteer, and help us find new vendors!

The gift fair gathers organizations and artisans selling gift items to raise funds for causes aligned with our UU values or for social action programming at First Church (including migrant and refugee support, voting rights, climate justice, LGBTQ+ Rights, and the Legacy of Slavery Project). And we are seeking new vendors for the fair!  Help the gift fair provide an even greater variety of goods to benefit the good work of a broader array of groups, including some of our very own! If you or someone you know is interested in participating, here is what you need to know. 

• Artisans market their work and support either the church’s social action program or a charitable cause of their choice. 

• Artisans share 50% of their profits from sales made at the fair.

• To be considered for the fair, artisans can email holidaygiftfair@uubelmont.org with a description of their work by November 6. 

We would love for you to get involved and help us make the fair a huge success!

• Are you a social media maven, or at least tuned in to where and how to spread the word to shoppers?! Help submit notices to online calendars and social media sites in and beyond Belmont.

• Are you out and about around town? We need people to hang flyers around town a week or two before the fair.

• Are you available on the day of the fair? Join our team that day to help with set-up (8:00 am-12:00 pm), during the fair (12:00 pm-4:00 pm), or with break-down (4:00 pm-5:00 pm).
