In every country Catholic Relief Services works, our efforts are made possible in partnership with organizations who are closest to the people we serve and whose values and competencies complement our own. Our efforts are no different here in the United States.
A network of more than a dozen Fair Trade organizations help Catholics in the U.S. shop with solidarity and build community. Located throughout the country, these craft, coffee and chocolate partners give you opportunities to “think globally and act locally” by supporting businesses in your region and rallying your parish or campus into participation. Each CRS partner is fully committed to the principles of Fair Trade, and every purchase you or your community makes through CRS means a donation to the Fair Trade Fund.
Participating in CRS Fair Trade means supporting farmers and artisans, doing businesses with organizations you can believe in, and donating to our revolving Fund whose grants build a fair and sustainable marketplace.
