And the Alternative Gift Market, in its 34th year, serves as a fundraiser for Church World Service, the Inter-Faith Council (IFC), and over 30 other charitable groups within the Triangle and around the world.

On Air, Today features conversations with the latest newsmakers in our community, including local elected leaders, educators, business owners, and anyone else with their finger on the pulse of the greater Chapel Hill community.
