Our Vision
Think about how good it feels when you have an authentic, personal transaction: grabbing coffee at a locally-owned coffee shop, buying produce from your local farmers’ market, or shopping for gifts at Chicago Fair Trade’s holiday pop-up shop. Imagine having that feeling day in and day out when you spend money!
Get Involved
Chicago Fair Trade comprises a dedicated base of member businesses, educational institutions, congregations, non-profit organizations, and individual activists.
We’re supported by a strong network of passionate volunteers. Student groups, families, and individuals alike are invited to volunteer.
Cheers to Fair Trade Coffee!
Have you tried Chicago Fair Trade’s coffee? We partnered with Metropolis Coffee, a Chicago-based award-winning coffee roaster, to create 4 custom blends that help to support fair trade coffee farmers in South and Central America.
