Fundraise with Abby

CFT is all about cultivating a community that is dedicated to an economy that values the labor and dignity of all people

– Abby Alley

One of the things in life that gives me immense joy and at the same time a deep burden is humanity’s interconnectedness. I am so grateful that God created us to live in community – that we get the benefit of each other’s strengths, perspectives, creativity, and joy. That is one of the reasons I was so drawn to starting my business. It is collaborative by nature and celebrates people, communities, and cultures across two continents.

It’s also why, in 2021, I decided to join the board of Chicago Fair Trade. CFT is all about cultivating a community that is dedicated to an economy that values the labor and dignity of all people. Fair trade businesses like my own believe success doesn’t have to come at the cost of people or our planet. In order to continue doing the work of advocating for fair trade and growing the fair trade movement in Chicago and surrounding areas, we need your support. I’d love to invite you to donate to our annual fundraiser. Every little bit helps make a big difference. It has been exciting being a part of my first couple board meetings – there are some really great plans in the works and I’m excited to see how CFT will grow and impact the world in the months and years to come. I have started using off by making a donation $250. Every $5, $10, $25 adds up to a big impact! Thank you so much in advance for your support. xo, Abby
