The Global Holiday Faire Was a Big Success!
The 27th Global Holiday Faire took place on Saturday, December 7th. But, you can still support our Virtual Faire. Below, you will find information on the organizations that have been involved in the Faire. Check out our Virtual Marketplace for great online shopping opportunities all year long.
Shop Fair Trade Gifts
Fair trade businesses, such as these, partner with farmers and artisans in developing countries who are socially and economically marginalized in finding markets and customers for their goods.
Discover handmade gifts, jewelry, décor, ornaments and more from all over the world – plus favorites like Divine Chocolate, Swazi spices and great coffees! Shop here.
Shop for colorful accessories, hand-carved kitchenware, nativities and more from Latin America. Shop here.
Fun fashionable clothes from Ghana for the kids, men and women in your life – plus, gifts for your pets and shea butter to treat yourself! Find something for everyone on your list here.
We are excited to have UPAVIM Crafts back at the Faire this year. Looking for home and kitchen decor? How about purses and jewelry? How about Christmas ornaments? You'll find it all and more here.
Shop for Food and Personal Care
Women's Bean Project is dedicated to helping women break the cycle of poverty and unemployment. From their headquarters in an old fire house in Denver, the women assemble kits for soup, chili, cornbread, cookie mixes and more – perfect for gift-giving! Shop here!
One of the most popular tables at the Faire is our food table. You can shop here for Divine Chocolate, a variety of fair trade coffee, plus spices, tea, oils, jams and more.
Franciscan Peacemakers connects women survivors of sexual exploitation to a healing network of support, safe housing and meaningful work (creating the wonderful "Gifts for the Journey" line of bath and body products - shop here).
Alternative Giving - Donate to honor someone in your life!
Heifer International
FARM ANIMALS FOR FAMILIES IN NEED
Heifer’s mission is to work with communities to end hunger and poverty and to care for the earth. Heifer's strategy is to give families a source of food rather than short-term relief and then ask them to “pass on the gift.” Visit their special Global Holiday Faire Living Gift Market to “buy” a gift of farm animals for a family in need.

TREES ARE A GIFT FOR THE AGES
Starting at $2 each, you can give Gift Trees to your family, friends, customers, guests or employees. By giving them, you are showing your appreciation AND making a contribution to the world for generations to come. Plus, there are great shopping opportunities as well.
