Marketplace Partners
We invite you to consider returning again and again to
these organizations, allowing them to become primary sources for your gifts and
products. Whether you are buying for yourself or for others, your purchases benefit
not only the people who use and enjoy the items, but, perhaps most importantly,
the people around the world who make them — and who often rely on
our support to live their lives in dignity rather than poverty.
A rapidly growing number of gifts and products are available locally and online.
Find an alternative trade store near you by searching the Fair
Trade Federation Web site.
Many stores sell products from A Greater
Gift (formerly SERRV),
Ten Thousand Villages
and other groups.
This list includes all vendors who have participated in the Global Marketplace.
Links are provided for organizations that have Web sites. Phone and email
information is provided where Web sites do not exist. |
