UMCOR's 100-Ton Challenge |
The United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) is challenging United Methodists to help farmers earn fair prices for their crops by participating in UMCOR’s 100-Ton Challenge. The 12-month campaign, which started on World Fair Trade Day (May 10, 2008) and will end May 9, 2009, encourages United Methodists to increase the amount of fairly traded coffee, tea, chocolate and snacks purchased through the UMCOR Coffee Project, a partnership between Equal Exchange and UMCOR. The goal is to increase awareness about Fair Trade in United Methodist churches everywhere and leverage fairly traded products to help farmers in Latin America, Africa, Asia and the United States build better lives.
