Fair Trade Buying Club

Fair Trade Philadelphia, in partnership with the Open Life Shop, is organizing a Fair Trade Buying Club to help connect our members with discounts on Fair Trade items. As consumers, one of the best ways we can support workers is to try to purchase FT products when possible. Please feel free to read the attached documents for more background on the FT Buying Club and our first target brand: Marketplace India. For more information, please feel free to contact Billy Hanafee at billy@openlifeshop.com.
