Equal Exchange is About Community

As we all eagerly await for Autumn to arrive, let me share with you good news from Equal Exchange.

This fall when you purchase coffee, tea, and chocolate, your purchase will count twice. In addition to   supporting long-term committed relationships that Equal Exchange has with their small farmers, when we purchase Equal Exchange products, we support our denomination too.  Equal Exchange gives additional funds back to our national denomination through the Small Farmer Fund, which PC(USA) decides how to spend.

Last year Presbyterian Church (USA) gave contributions to support The Road to Life Yard-Papaye, an integrated sustainable agricultural development program in Haiti which includes organic farming and Moringa Trees through MPP-Mouvman Peyizan Papay.

I thought you would like to know what a helpful contribution you bring through your purchases to help God's children to become self sufficient.

In Christ, all things are possible.
In peace and joy.  Diane
