The Mission and Outreach Committee of St. Mark's was responsible for another successful
Ten Thousand Villages Fair Trade Gift Sale on Saturday, October 20th. The total for the six-hour sale amounted to a staggering $12,427.16! Great work everyone! Many thanks to all the dedicated volunteers who set up, packed, worked on cash, fed the volunteers, gave the people from the Mennonite Central Committee lodgings and for those who helped to pack up after the sale. Without volunteers, this sale would not have been possible.
Ten Thousand Villages is the oldest and largest Fair Trade
organization in North America, selling artisan-crafted personal
accessories, home decor and gift items from around the globe.
Ten Thousand Villages creates opportunities for artisans in
developing countries to earn income by bringing their products and
stories to our markets through long-term, fair trading relationships.
