Work of Human Hands Fair Trade Sale:
Giving Back through Christmas GiftS
NOVEMBER 16-17

Fair trade brings attention to people around the world who work under exploitative conditions and highlights the true costs of goods in global supply chains. Organizations, businesses, farmers, workers and artisans have worked diligently for more than 50 years to make trade more fair. 

Fair trade supports farmers and craftspeople in developing countries who are socially and economically marginalized. These producers often face steep hurdles in finding markets and customers for their goods.

Our sale features beautiful handmade baskets of various sizes, designs and colors; various gift and clothing items; decorations; jewelry; and food stuffs like coffee, chocolate, oil, and tea.

In addition to providing a living wage to workers, profits from the sale of some of these items also go to benefit some service outreach ministries.
Thank you for participating & buying gifts that benefit both the makers and the recipients.
