The Mattapoisett Friends Meeting will hold its second annual Alternative Gift Fair on Saturday, Nov. 8 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

There will be several nonprofits, both local and international, represented. Visitors will be able to buy goods from the nonprofits, such as totes and caps, or make a donation in honor of friends or family. There will be fair-trade artwork from around the world and cans of fair-trade coffee and hot chocolate for holiday gifts.

The Friends Meeting Sunday School is raising money to adopt an orphaned elephant in Kenya through the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust and will sell some crafts.

Local Quaker artist Charlotte Purrington will sell greeting cards with her own artwork to raise money for renovations at the meeting house.

“This drawing is from a calendar I designed and sold in 1971,” said Purrington.

The cards portray Purrington's drawing of a fox in the snow and a Bible verse from Romans 12:2.

“I found the quote from the New Testament poetic and ecumenical,” Purrington said.

In addition to Purrington’s print, participating nonprofits are the Mattapoisett Land Trust, Friends of the Mattapoisett Bike Path, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, the Marion Institute, the Buzzards Bay Coalition, Sippican Lands Trust, Heifer International, SERRV, Equal Exchange and The Widow's Friend.

The fair will be at the Quaker Meeting House at 103 Marion Rd. (Rt. 6) in Mattapoisett.
