CUMC's 2nd Annual Fair Trade Gift Boutique

CUMC is hosting its 2nd Annual Fair Trade Gift Boutique featuring items handcrafted by women in developing countries.  The sale proceeds go diretly to the artisans, thereby increasing the women's ability to purchase needed  improvements in health, housing and education, while decreasing their vulnerability to human trafficking, HIV/AIDS, and violence.


Everyone is invited to shop.  You'll find items eclectic to exquisite, created from natural, recycled and sustainable materials.  Featured are jewelry, scarves, handbags, sweaters, apparel, housewares, soaps, ornaments, home decor items and more.


This is a wonderful opportunity to treat yourself, your friends, your families, and to help women break out of poverty at the same time.
