Join us Saturday as we celebrate World Fair Trade Day! Street music, Fair Trade treats, door prizes, and more.
This year we are doing a benefit for the Center for Prevention of Abuse. A portion of our sales will help CFPA fight human trafficking in Central Illinois.
From the May, 2018 issue of Interbusiness Issues
"On January 4, 2018, the Center for Prevention of Abuse (CFPA) was proud to reveal the creation of a new department, Human Trafficking Services, to care for victims of modern-day slavery—those exploited through force, fraud or coercion into involuntary labor or the commercial sex trade. Much like the services CFPA provides to survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault or elder abuse, we welcome all those looking to live free from violence and abuse, including victims of human trafficking...
"[M]illions of women, men and children around the world—including here in central Illinois—are modern-day slaves. We have seen with certainty that the cruel, inhumane practice of human trafficking is prosperous in Peoria, Tazewell and Woodford counties. Of the clients we have identified and cared for, just three are foreign-born. Fifteen percent came to us from out-of-state, 10 percent were from the Chicago area, and a full 70 percent are from right here at home, native to central Illinois. Slavery has not ended."
Show your love for Fair Trade, find the perfect gift for Mom or your Graduate, and make Central Illinois a better place to live.
