Fair Trade for the heart and for the stomach
- Brew your favorite blend and invite a friend over for coffee talk. (Or tea or hot cocoa talk!)
- Bake something naughty or nice, from our recipes using Equal Exchange ingredients.
- Create your own recipe and share it with us!
Introduce your local community group to Equal Exchange
- Use Equal Exchange products as a fundraiser. Raise awareness for farmers and raise funds for your own community group activities.
- Submit an article to your group’s newsletter or listserv. Contact us if you’d like one we’ve got on hand, or send us suggestions for articles.
Set up an info or tasting station at a community event
- Tell us the event you’ve got in mind, and we’ll send you materials.
- Create your own event by tabling at a local store that carries Equal Exchange. You'll help raise awareness, move more coffee for farmers, and support a local business that has made the commitment to offer Fair Trade to your neighbors.
- Tell the local media. Contact us for a template press release, or write your own. Tell us if your story gets printed, and we’ll post it!
