Fair Trade Minneapolis
We encourage people to choose Fair Trade products. We’re a 501c3 tax-exempt nonprofit w/ EIN 86-3602442. To donate, text FAIR to 53555, thank you!
Join us via Zoom on 2nd Mondays in 2023: 6/12, 9/11, 10/9 & 11/13 from 7:30 to 9pm Central Time. We post the Zoom link on Facebook for “Fair Trade Minneapolis” Photo (see left): On a Monday in late July, we welcome all to our Meet & Greet in Boom Island Park!
To events, we bring Fair Trade coffee, tea & chocolate, and lots of products from Haiti: artisan-made products from Papillon Marketplace & coffee + chocolate from Singing Rooster.
We give our Fair Trade Awards to small businesses & food co-ops in Minneapolis to celebrate how many different Fair Trade products they sell.
