Please support Ten Thousand Villages at its Highland Park, NJ location in this very generous offer to support A Better World Cafe. We love shopping at their store for beautifully handcrafted items that we can be sure were made by people being fairly compensated all over the globe. The fair trade chocolates they sell may be the perfect sweet treat for your valentine this year.
At the fundraiser event for A Better World Cafe on 1/23/11, you'll be able to sample delicious soups, cornbread, salsa spices and cookies made from mixes put together by Women's Bean Project. Based in Denver, Colorado, this nonprofit group has been helping women break the cycle of poverty and unemployment by providing stepping stones to self-sufficiency through social enterprise since 1989. The women in the program, have histories of poverty and unemployment. They are trained to make gourmet food products which are sold nationwide in shops like Ten Thousand Villages. This training provides the women with income and job experience. Each package for sale is labeled with the name of the woman who personally packed it.
Any Women's Bean Project soup, cornbread or baked good mix sales during the fundraiser event will result in a 15% donation to A Better World Cafe.
We couldn't be more thrilled to have this partnership.
