Fair Trade Minneapolis

Description

Fair Trade Minneapolis is a 501c3 nonprofit, one of 2,277 Fair Trade Towns on Earth, encouraging people to choose Fair Trade coffee, tea, chocolate, and more! We bring metal wall art,"jewelry" made of ceramic and paper-rolled beads, Haiti Friends dolls, ceramic mugs, greeting cards, and garden stakes - from Papillon Marketplace in Haiti - to events in Minneapolis.

Fair Trade Minneapolis needs help at events in Minneapolis. We're often just my mother and me, so I'm reaching out to ask for your help.

More information: Fair Trade Minneapolis encourages people to choose Fair Trade products - to pay farmers & artisans fairly, protect our environment with the Fair Trade Standards for sustainable agriculture and ensure that cocoa for Fair Trade chocolate has been farmed by adults.

At events, we sell Fair Trade artisan products made in Haiti by parents at Papillon Marketplace https://papillonmarketplace.com. In Haiti, Papillon Marketplace hires parents, pays them fairly for their work, and provides childcare. Our orders for their products help to provide jobs for those parents!

To events, we also bring dozens of kinds of Fair Trade tea, and some Fair Trade chocolate - and give this away for free when time permits, to raise customer preference for Fair Trade tea and chocolate!
