Fair Trade Minneapolis creates jobs in Haiti!

11 people standing in front. Several skyscrapers of Minneapolis can be seen to the left behind the people, with trees on the right. Two women wear black T-shirts with the blue & green Fairtrade logos. The T-shirts say, "the future is fair" There are 1 man and 10 women. A woman from India holds two fingers up as a "peace" sign.

Fall 2024 – Meet us in Minneapolis!

Saturday, September 28, 11am-5pm at Nicollet Open Streets, on Nicollet Ave S, just south of 38th Street!

We’ll bring Fair Trade art from Papillon Marketplace in Haiti. This helps families in Haiti by providing training and sustainable jobs for parents in need.

Haiti needs help! We offer artisan-made Fair Trade art from Papillon Marketplace in Haiti! Metal wall art, garden stakes, jewelry, ceramic mugs, Haiti Friend Dolls, holiday ornaments and greeting cards!

Visit our booth to learn more about Fair Trade and get Fair Trade chocolate and tea samples for free!

In Minneapolis, we give Fair Trade Awards (for free) to small businesses & food co-ops to celebrate the number of different Fair Trade products they sell.

We encourage people to choose Fair Trade coffee, tea, chocolate, sugar, bananas, and artisan products to pay farmers and artisans fairly, protect the environment with the Fair Trade Standards, and ensure that cocoa is farmed by adults.

We’re a 501c3 tax-exempt nonprofit with EIN 86-3602442. To donate, please text FAIR to 53555, thank you!
