Ebenezer Gift Market & Cafe is an intrical part of the "Sweet Auburn" Community. It is located inside The Historical Ebenezer Baptist Church and was founded by Isaac Newton Farris (brother-in-law of Martin Luther King Jr). The gift shop and book store was to serve as an extension of the Ebenezer Baptist Church to help support it's mission and the global community. EBC Market is popular with members of the Atlanta Christian community as well as visitors to the Martin Luther King Jr National Historic Park. Through the EBC website, virtual shoppers can purchase books, posters, social justice products and Christian focused gifts. There are also items relating to Martin Luther King Jr, Senator-Elect Rev Raphael Warnock, Vice President Elect Kamala Harris, Barack Obama, and other great community leaders.
Your purchase supports not only a small-black owned business, but a percentage of sales goes toward the support of the church and its programs.
I was amazed at the many products offered at this gift shop. My visit was fabulous, and Ill be back very soon.
