MENLO PARK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Just in time for the holidays, local shoppers can provide sustainable development among the poorest of the poor by shopping at the Global Gift Fair at Menlo Church locations in Menlo Park, Mountain View, and San Mateo.
In partnership with Heavenly Treasures and Artisan Connect, many unique handiworks, jewelry and gifts will be available. Each purchase results in economic opportunity, community programs, and job creation among those in need worldwide.
