About Us

Fair Trade at First Congregational Church Palo Alto is a ministry of the Outreach Board. We partner with Boston-based Equal Exchange to source the products we sell. Equal Exchange helps keep small  independent farmers and co-ops as an active part of the world agricultural marketplace, allowing them  to earn fair, stable incomes that are not available through multinational agribusiness corporations. We hope you will support independent farmers and co-ops to the greatest extent possible, while enjoying delicious, value-priced, organic foods. With gratitude from the FCCPA Fair Trade Team: Wes Chow, Rodney Click, Carole Eittreim, Nancy Peterson, Lynette Skelton and Linda Sodos.
