  • Fair Trade Outlet for Artisans

    Our primary purpose is to provide a fair trade outlet in the greater Rochester, NY area for artisans in developing countries around the world. We also provide a fair trade outlet for craft items made at several 501 (c) (3) organizations located in the Rochester, NY area. They are primary shelters for physically and drug abused women and children. We estimate that our sale of goods made in developing countries have provided a decent income for about 1,500 families.
