Fair Trade Chocolates & Coffee

Each Sunday, Mount Meru coffee and Lutheran World Relief Chocolates can be purchased at the Make A Difference Marketplace in the lower narthex at Mount Carmel. Mount Meru coffee helps support coffee farmers in our sister synod, the Meru Diocese of Tanzania. Divine chocolate bars support cocoa farmers in Ghana. Both Fair Trade items allow farmers to sell their product directly to people who have promised them a fair market value instead of middle men who would often take most or all of their profit, leaving them trapped in poverty despite their hard work. Through these coffee and chocolate sales, farmers in both countries have been able to educate their children, have better access to medical care, create fresh water wells, and have hope for their future and the future of their families. Stop by and pick up some coffee or chocolates. Justice never tasted so good!
