Buying Fair Trade is a great way to support grassroots efforts for change in the developing world.  By buying Fair Trade you ensure that the people producing the goods you buy are paid a just wage for their labor.  Join us for the Fair Trade Holiday Sale to learn more, support artisans and cooperatives, and to get beautiful products from around the world!

*In addition to supporting the work by artisan's associated with each organization, we ask each vendor to pay a small fee for participating in the event.  This money is then donated to two scholarship programs - one in Nicaragua and one in El Salvador.  If you would like more information about these scholarships, please contact the VSLC.
