Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT ARE YOU FUNDRAISING FOR?
FLCOL calls our Christmas Market a "giving event" in the true spirit of Christmas. That means that we are not fundraising for ourselves but rather for charitable causes that we feel called to support. We ask our participating vendors to donate a portion of their event's profits to a charitable cause of our choice.
Christmas Market 2024 raised money (and collected goods for donation) for: Children's Hospital LA. Sandpiper's Sugarplum Tree, LCMS Lutheran World Relief, One Tree Planted, Ten Thousand Villages, Handmade with Love, Girl Scout Troop #4465, The Salvation Army, and the Lutheran Women's Missionary League.

HOW CAN I VOLUNTEER?
Those interested in volunteering can sign up using this LINK.
HOW CAN I BECOME A VENDOR?
We are looking for all types of Christmas Market vendors, from professional to amateur! A diverse group of local craftspeople and businesses will provide holiday shoppers with varied and dynamic choices. Let's celebrate "shopping small' by supporting local small businesses and charities. Remember, our Christmas Market is a "giving event" where our vendors donate a portion of their day's profit to the charitable causes FLCOL is supporting this year. This is not a fundraiser for FLCOL. Rather, we are raising funds for others in the spirit of Christmas. There is no fee for vendors to participate, but all vendors at our event must agree to donate a portion of their profits for charity. (We in turn, will make the lump sum donation on everyone's behalf.)

IS THIS EVENT INDOORS OR OUTDOORS?
Currently our Christmas Market is an outdoor event, with the preschool musical concerts happening indoors inside the Chapel.
CASH OR CARD?
Please be prepared for both! Some vendors may be cash only, while others will have multiple payment options. Thank you for your flexibility and your willingness to support small, local businesses.
WHY DO YOU CALL THIS A "GIVING EVENT"?
We call our Christmas Market a "giving event" because this is all about helping others in the spirit of Christmas! We are helping local, small businesses, helping charities, and bringing our community together.
This event is not a for-profit fundraiser for First Luther Church & Circle of Love Preschool.
IF you are still moved to support the ministry of First Lutheran Church & Circle of Love Preschool, you can always give at any time using our online giving portal HERE.
