A unique pair of reindeer are sold at the Fair Trade Holiday Market

Arranging a display of crafts and artistic items from around the globe  

Coffees, teas, and chocolate also made in Fair Trade Cooperatives

Fair Trade Holiday Market

The Fair Trade Market this past holiday season benefited many artisans and farmers in Fair Trade
Co-operatives around the globe. 

Fourteen women from our church joined with women from the First Congregational United Church of Christ to order, unpack, and work at the sale. 

This was a Mission project which not only benefited the persons who made or grew the items sold,

but also provided both some awareness in the community of the concept of Fair Trade,

and the knowledge that one can check items purchased not only at markets such as this one,

but also in private businesses who also stock and sell Fair Trade items and mark them as such. 

It also gave us the opportunity to work with another church in the community.

Our market was open for five days during November in addition to a sample table at the All Church Bazaar.

Thank you to all who helped!
