The many ways to give Fair Trade this Christmas

Monday, December 1st, 2008

Today and tomorrow, a whole crew of staff/volunteers is helping Katy host our annual Work of Human Hands sale here at CRS Global Headquarters.   If you are in the Baltimore area, come on over!

Of course, shopping at a sale isn’t the only way to give Fair Trade this season.  Hundreds of individuals like you also chose to donate to the Fair Trade Fund in honor or memory of someone, knowing that CRS will recycle your dollars into capacity building grants around the world. This kind of gift allows CRS Fair Trade to support projects such as an Olive Harvest Festival in the Holy Land.

In these tough economic times, another benefit of a Fair Trade Fund donation is that it is a tax-deduction for you. You can make the gift in any amount: every bit helps in our efforts to pursue economic justice and in yours to celebrate the spirit of Christmas!
