Fair Trade Your Faith Community
From hosting fair trade coffee hours or craft sales to passing fairly traded baskets, faith communities can introduce a variety of elements that support fair trade for artisans and farmers.
In addition, several faith traditions have official fair trade programs, including
- American Jewish World Service
- Catholic Relief Services
- Disciples
of Christ
- Islamic
Relief
- Lutheran World Relief
- Presbyterian
Church
- Mennonite
- United Methodist Committee on Relief
- Unitarian Universalist
You can work with FTF member Global Goods Partners on Fair Trade Bar/Bat Mitzvah Projects. FTF member Partners for Just Trade also put together a Bible study on Using Purchasing Power for Justice and Hope, based on Judeo-Christian teaching.
Even if you don’t see your tradition listed, you can initiate a program in your community by bringing fair trade products to your next event, sponsoring a fair trade fundraiser, or cooking up great fair trade items.
