October kicks off Fair Trade Month (which we think should be celebrated all year we’re excited to highlight some of the amazing marketplace vendors who will be a part of the annual gift fair!)
Check out this link & video from our friends at Redemptive Sweets about not only providing meaningful & dignity-filled employment for women leaving trafficking and exploitation but also using fair trade chocolate in manufacturing their chocolate-covered, nut-filled dates!!!

Interested in learning even more about Fair Trade Chocolate? We invite you to read the article Chocolate: A Bittersweet Luxury by Equal Exchange.
We'll see you on December 1 at the 17th Annual Gifts That Give Hope Gift Fair and you'll be able to purchase items from both of these Marketplace Vendors at the fair! Pack your sweet tooth, and we'll see you very soon!
