Try This: Recognize Fair Trade Month at Your Church

October is Fair Trade Month. At your fall/Halloween outreach event, serve fair-trade coffee, give fair-trade products as prizes and use fair-trade chocolates for candy. Set up a table or booth providing people with more information about the benefits of purchasing fair-trade products and how they can get involved. You can also have products—like the coffee you serve—on sale. For more ideas, resources, products, etc., check out FairTradeUSA.org or FairTradeFederation.org.
