Ethical Eating - You Can Help Make the World Sweeter - One Candy Bar or Cup of Coffee at a Time!

What if could indulge that chocolate craving or enjoy your next cup of coffee, while helping to lift our brothers and sisters around the world out of poverty?  You can - When you purchase handcrafts, Divine Chocolate, or coffee through the CRS Fair Trade Program.

 Fair Trade = Fair Prices for the farmers and artisans who make the products.  Cutting out the middlemen who exploit these workers allows more of a product's value to be shared with those who make it.  Fair Trade is also about being good to the planet God gave us.  Better trading conditions, plus financial and technical assistance all help to improve farming and harvesting techniques, which contribute to sustainable development. 

You can help make the world a sweeter place by purchasing these Fair Trade Products:

Divine Chocolate and Equal Exchange Chocolate (trust me, I've tried this, it is to die for) - no guilt when you eat this heavenly chocolate! Flavors like dark chocolate ( from many different locations around the globe), milk chocolate with hazelnuts, chocolate caramel with sea salt, dark chocolate with almonds, chocolate raspberry and silky white chocolate, just to name a few. If you're looking for some fabulous chocolate for Easter (oh my goodness, they have praline chocolate eggs!), this is the place, but hurry and order soon to make sure it arrives in time!

A great cup of Joe - It tastes so good, and you will be doing good!  CRS has over a dozen partners who provide Fair Trade coffee in the U.S, located throughout every region, so you can choose the one most convenient for you.

Handcrafts and Gourmet Food - from disadvantaged producers all over the world.  Great gift ideas - they offer jewelry, handcrafted pottery and baskets, candles,  all sorts of gift baskets, handmade toys and instruments, and lots more!
