40th Annual Mission Team Craft Fair – Oct 24th-25th

Coral Springs — Handmade gifts will be ready and waiting for you at our 40th Annual Mission Team Craft Fair. Come check out a wide selection of goods and support local crafters at the 40th Annual Craft Fair sponsored by the Mission Team. Hours are Friday, October 24th from 9:00 am – 5:00 pm and Saturday, October 25th from 9:00 am – 4:00 pm. Admission and parking are free at the First Church of Coral Springs at 8650 W. Sample Road in Coral Springs.

Vendors will be there with handcrafted items such as ornaments, woodcrafts, crocheted gifts, pottery, and home decor. Don’t miss the bake sale. Refreshments, including food from the grill, will be also available in the courtyard.

Funds raised by the Craft Fair support missions to meet basic needs of people in Broward County and around the world. Locally, Mission Team members feed the hungry and homeless in Coral Springs and downtown Fort Lauderdale and work with local schools to support the needs of community school children. According to Michelle Musselman of Edible Extras Food Pantry, “We pick up food from grocery stores and restaurants which is sorted and distributed to organizations assisting people in need. We currently provide food to 17 organizations for their feeding programs. Support from the Mission Team of First Church helps make this possible.”

We invite you to come, take a look at handmade goods created by local crafters, and help a worthy cause at the same time. For more information, please contact the Craft Fair Coordinator at 954-304-6136 or email [email protected].
