2024-11-21 10:00 - 18:00 | UUFCC – Fellowship Hall, 780 Waupelani Drive, State College, PA, 16801, United States
Ten Thousand Villages is planning a three-day holiday sale at the Unitarian Fellowship on November 21, 22, and 23. Since the store has closed, this will be an opportunity for the local community to support international fair-trade and shop for the holidays. We plan to have a wide variety of artisan goods, coffee, chocolate, tea, and heirloom quality rugs from Bunyaad.
We’re more than a store, We’re a global maker-to-market movement that addresses economic injustice. Because every handcrafted object has a life of meaning behind it. We’re a way for you to shop with intention for ethically-sourced handcrafted wares – and to share in the joy of empowering makers in ten thousand villages.
We’re looking for volunteers to help!
It takes a lot of effort to pull off a sale like this. If you would like to help with one or more shifts, check out the online signup sheet and join the effort!
