Putting Their Hands to Work for Justice
Although TV and radio commericals for Christmas sales begin earlier every year, they’ll never beat the Work of Human Hands Sale organizer! Many Work of Human Hands Sale organizers began preparations for their Christmas sales in September (and yes! some even in August or July!). It may take a little more work than taking a Christmas gift list to the mall, but by hosting a Work of Human Hands Sale for Christmas, these sale organizers provide a just alternative for shoppers and a fair market for disadvantaged producers. They demonstrate the true spirit of the season through their own generosity and hard work on behalf of those in need.
Thank you to all the Work of Human Hands Sale organizers for giving others the opportunity to shop responsibly and thoughtfully, particularly during Advent. And thank you to all the shoppers who are using their dollars to provide the benefits of Fair Trade to producers overseas, while at the same time giving their loved one unique crafts and delicious foods!
To help sale organizers get the word out about their sales, and help shoppers locate a sale near them, please post your Work of Human Hands Sale information to the CRS Fair Trade website or to our Facebook page. If there is no sale in your neighborhood, it’s always possible to shop Work of Human Hands online.

I’m hoping to open a new company, specifically a coffee shop, hence the online research. Reading your posts have give me some great things to think about, thanks for the share and I will return hoping to get even better ideas.
