Shop Online, Too!
If you missed the in-person sales event or if you think of additional gift needs after you get home, you can still shop online at www.fairtradewinds.net and your purchase will make a difference to these Fair Trade artisans. In addition, Fair Trade Winds will donate 10% of sales to Nativity Creation Care’s sustainability and garden programs. Use code NATIVITY2024 at checkout. Please share with your friends and family!
Unique, Meaningful Gifts
Fair Trade offers beautifully crafted items ranging from jewelry and accessories to home goods, toys, clothing, food, cookie and soup mixes, coffee, children’s items, and holiday items—each has a story to tell about the artisans who created it. The Haitian metal art is particularly popular with Nativity parishioners. Handmade products make wonderful gifts and mean so much more than traditional mass-produced items. Consider meaningful holiday gifts this year and support fair trade, especially during these challenging times for the artisans! Fair Trade is endorsed as a means of sustainable development by Catholic Relief Services and the US Conference of Catholic Bishops. Bring your visiting family and friends!
Why Fair Trade?
Meant to be a long-term system, not short-term charity, Fair Trade works to make communities on all levels sustainable. Fair Trade Organizations are invested in the people they work with, helping them meet nutritional needs, get access to health care, receive financial training, and a variety of other projects, depending on the needs of the community.
In addition, Fair trade products celebrate the cultural diversity of communities around the world. Often, artisans use centuries-old techniques passed down from previous generations, incorporating traditional craft methods into stylish, unique products that protect their cultural heritage and allow you to enjoy the skill and beauty of their craft.
