Assumption's Valentine Fair Trade Market


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!!
