Know a church in your area that might also like to start an Equal Exchange program? We can provide you with product samples and materials to share with them. You and the new congregation may also be eligible for special introductory rewards. Give Elisa or Susan a call for more information. Helping our base to grow is one of the best ways that you can support our alternative trade model.
