“Hope for the Holidays” is getting bigger and better this year as it is hosted by our friends at Naperville Christian Church. The event, which will be December 6th from 10am to 6pm, will once again have your favorite fair trade items, including: coffee, scarves, jewelry, ornaments, toys, baskets and much, much more!
For those of you wondering what fair trade really means, we’ve included a list of the International Fair Trade Association’s principles.
- Creating opportunities for economically disadvantaged producers
- Transparency and accountability
- Capacity building
- Payment of a fair price
- Gender equity
- Good working conditions
- Care for the environment
At the end of the day, it means caring for the person on the other side of a product and being invested in bringing equality and fairness to disadvantaged peoples. Hope and purpose: something everyone wants for Christmas! Won’t you join us on December 6th and rediscover the joy of giving. And bring a friend!
