SUPPORT THE GLOBAL FESTIVAL GIFT SHOP: Are you looking for that unique item for your apartment, house, or dorm room? Do you need gifts? For you or someone else? Then come to the Global Festival Gift Shop and enjoy a “world bazaar experience” where you can find unique and beautiful gifts from around the world.  The merchandise consists of new or gently used donations that have been given by a large community of international students, faculty, supporters, and world travelers. Generous donors appreciate that 100% of the proceeds from their gifts go towards the Lillian Kumata Scholarship program for qualified spouses of international students at MSU. 

SHOP NOW: Select items are available for purchase online at the MSU Surplus Store. If you can’t attend the festival but looking for international items, shop online at the MSU Surplus Stores here https://msusurplusstore.com/collections/cvip-world-gift-shop.  Again, your proceeds will support the Lillian Kumata Scholarships.

VOLUNTEER: Organizing the Global Gift Shop is a year-round activity that needs volunteers!  If you would like to help, please fill out the Community Volunteer Application and join the activities of preparation leading up to November 8.  

DONATE: If you or your family members have world treasures that need to find new caring homes, donate them to the gift shop.  Call the CVIP office for information on how to donate (517-353-1735)

CONTRIBUTE: Contributions to CVIP will fund scholarships and programs for international students. https://cvip.isp.msu.edu/about/make-gift/
