Now that's a
GREAT cup of coffee!

The UCC Coffee Project is one way our congregation is joining hands with communities in the developing world. As Christians we can address a consumer dilemma by buying coffee that is fairly traded. Through the project, farmers and their families gain more control over their lives, earn a fairer share of income, have access to credit and technical support, and gain a trading partner they can trust, a fair trade organization called Equal Exchange. At the same time, we are learning about the impact of our consumer habits and how to advocate for more just global economic policies for coffee producers, small farmers, and workers throughout the world.
For the past 4 years, we have been serving Fair Trade Coffee during coffee hour on Sunday mornings  and in the church office during the week. If you would like to learn more about the UCC Coffee Project and our partners Equal Exchange, visit www.equalexchange.com.

The UCC Coffee Project is a partnership of the UCC Justice and Witness Ministries (JWM) and Equal Exchange. JWM, one of the four Covenanted Ministries in the United Church of Christ, empowers individuals and local congregations across the nation to do advocacy for justice in their communities and in the world.
