When she is not out running half-marathons or visiting Haiti, Abby Causey finds creative ways to bring together the people in her parish to support CRS Fair Trade. Take a big event back in May of 2008: Abby got her parish–Holy Spirit in Virginia Beach, VA–to commit a whole evening to economic justice by hosting a Work of Human Hands crafts sale, serving dinner, and offering educational presentations. Abby gave an overview of Fair Trade and middle school students presented two commercials they created during their CRS FoodFast experience. Young members of JustFaith also spoke about Fair Trade chocolate, and how their “J-walking” group promoted Fair Trade coffee. Surely this community is geared up for a great 2009!
