Bethlehem Lutheran Offers and Supports Certified
Fair Trade Products

Bethlehem is recognized as a Fair Trade Church by the Mankato Area Fair Trade Town Initiative (MAFTTI).

That means we have committed ourselves to:

* Use only Fair Trade Certified coffee after services and in all meetings for which the church has responsibility.

*Move forward on using other Fair Trade products (e.g. chocolate, tea, cocoa)

*Promote Fair Trade during Fair Trade Fortnight, Fair Trade Month (October) and at other times through events, worship and selling of Fair Trade Certified Products

Fair Trade is a system of exchange that honors producers, communities, consumers, and the environment. It is a model for the global economy rooted in people-to-people connections, justice, and accountability.
