NEW HOLLAND, Pa. — This holiday season, shoppers can simplify their gift buying, save money and contribute to a good cause all at once. The Village Store and the Share & Care Shop at Garden Spot Village invite area shoppers to celebrate the holidays and take advantage of great bargains in support of the Garden Spot Village Benevolent Fund.

“Participating shoppers are giving two gifts—the one they buy for a friend or family member and the gift that goes to the Benevolent Fund, which helps support residents who need financial assistance,” said Deborah Fast, director of volunteer services at Garden Spot Village. The Village Store and the Share & CareShop are managed by the volunteer services department and staffed by volunteers.

The Christmas shopping season kicks off with a holiday celebration in the Village Store on Friday, Nov. 30, from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. With every purchase of $20 or more, shoppers get 50 percent off a Christmas ornament. Carolers will perform at 12:15 p.m., and the shop will serve seasonal treats throughout the day.
