Miss Pennsylvania Miranda Moore will be joining us at the 16th annual gift fair on Sunday, December 10th, and will be sharing her commitment to incorporating more sustainable practices in the fashion industry. “I am a certified Environmental Engineer (EIT) and Sustainability Professional (ENV-SP), and the proud founder of Take Action in Fashion. When I first learned about the impact the fashion industry has on people and the planet, my life was changed forever. Since then, I have used my career, partnerships with brands and nonprofits, and my advocacy in the Miss America Organization to engage others in the sustainable fashion movement.” Take Action In Fashion More about Miss PA Here: Harrisburg woman crowned Miss Pennsylvania 2023 - pennlive.com As GTGH had previously shared, together with Miss Pennsylvania, Jessica Timblin will be on hand to offer fashion input and styling suggestions as GTGH Participants can learn how to incorporate sustainable fashion concepts into clothing, jewelry and accessory purchases!

Our focus for October celebrates the intersection of Fair Trade Month, Business & Human Rights (Monthly thematic spotlights | OHCHR), and Sustainable Development Goal Goal # 13 which looks at Climate Action. GTGH Lancaster provides the platform to give customers access to companies, businesses, and nonprofits that operate in a way that is desirable for both people and the planet. When you shop the GTGH Marketplace in search of uniquely made, handcrafted items where the makers earn a living wage in a dignity-filled, you will be surrounded by entrepreneurs, visionaries, and passionate humanitarians who want to make a positive impact in the world (like you) and be a voice for the vulnerable who may face barriers to employment. GTGH is a one-of-a-kind experience that offers the holiday shopper, philanthropist, and charitably-minded gift giver the perfect environment for purchasing gifts and essential wares in a merriment-infused setting.
