A poor man's field may produce abundant food, but
injustice sweeps it away. -- Proverbs 13:23

What is Fair Trade? Fair Trade is about fair prices. It’s about eliminating exploitative middlemen
and sharing more of a product’s value with the people who made it. Fair Trade is about being good stewards of
the planet God gave us. Catholic Relief
Services’ Fair Trade program contributes to sustainable development by offering
better trading conditions to marginalized producers and workers. The CRS Fair Trade website helps you pray,
learn, act, give (and receive!) in solidarity with artisans and farmers around
the world.
