I'm very excited to announce that in 2011, Assumption's Fair Trade Market sold ~$10,470!! This means that ~$1,047 was donated to Assumption's St. Vincent DePaul!! I feel confident that as the word gets around about these markets, sales will increase even more in 2012! The Christmas Fair Trade Market alone brought in just under $6,000!!!
Also a newsletter from Plowsharing Crafts, the non-profit organization that we receive our products, announced that globally all the fair trade purchases from Plowsharing in 2011 provided a year's income for over 200 artisans and their families!! AWESOME NEWS!!! We are helping to make a difference in our brothers' and sisters' lives from around the world and here in our community as well.
Your continued support is what makes Assumption's Fair Trade markets a success!!
