Looking for creative ways to take care of your holiday shopping?
Hoping to do some good for your community as well? Come shop
at the Nonprofit Holiday Marketplace, hosted by the Volunteer
Center of San Francisco (VCSF) and its Corporate Volunteer Council
(CVC). Experience where One Gift brings Many Smiles.
This very unique event takes place on December
16th and 17th in the festive Plaza Ballroom at the Hilton San
Francisco. The beauty behind the Nonprofit Holiday Marketplace
is that with each purchase, you'll be spending your shopping
dollars on great gifts while supporting a specific Bay Area
nonprofit.
Escape the hustle and bustle of downtown San Francisco
to casually shop for fun and creative holiday gifts as diverse
as the nonprofit organizations themselves. The Hilton will be
offering a lunch special at their Intermezzo Caf?to all shoppers.
Youth choirs will be performing each evening and
the San Francisco Fire Department Toy Program will be there
collecting new and unwrapped toys.
