Celebrate World Fair Trade Day by shopping in the Mission Market!

Written By Sandra Robinson

Baskets from Ghana, jewelry from Peru, ceramics from Vietnam and coffee from women farmers around the world, these are a few of the products available to you through our partnerships with Equal Exchange, SERRV and Ten Thousand Villages. 

Fair Trade is not free trade (governmental policies between and among countries).

For farmers and artisans, Fair Trade means

• Fair Prices and Financial Security

• Safe and Equitable Working Conditions

• Environmental Protection 

• Community Empowerment

• Supply Chain Transparency 

For you the consumer, Fair Trade means using your purchasing power to promote justice in the marketplace. 

What does the LORD require of you but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God? Micah 6:8

The Mission Market is located on the second floor of First Presbyterian, near the Commons area, James Park Classroom, and the Fellowship Hall. You can shop on Sundays from 9:30-10:50 a.m., on Wednesday evenings or other days by appointment. Contact: Colleen Shannon, bakhom@earthlink.net.
