Best Fair Trade Christmas Gifts—SFAC Makes the News

During this busy 2015 Holiday giving season that seems to be going too fast, here at Shopping for a Change we’ve been featured in two more publications (see our last 12/4/15 post)—mentions we wanted to share with our shoppers and supporters. Since we are nonprofit (which gives us the rare ability to provide more earnings to our worldwide artisans and to substantially support their community projects) these media mentions are very valuable with their mass exposure.  

  

Entrepreneur.com Magazine featured SFAC founder/president Stacey Horowitz in a November 30^th article (by Rebekah Iliff) discussion of “conscious consumption.” She writes: People are seeking out ways to make better decisions about what to buy, and do-good brands are becoming household names. From donating product or a portion of sales to establishing fair wages for factory workers, more and more businesses are assigning value to ethical business practices -- and consumers are seeing the value in it too.

Stacey Horowitz was interviewed for the article and she offered: Shoppers are becoming enlightened. There is a strong movement amongst consumers to know that their purchases are giving back to those who produce them and to connect with them on an emotional level. Our customers love the fact that when they shop with us, their purchases are helping to shape and improve the lives of those they touch both domestically and abroad.

Kiwi Magazine (a print magazine with a sub name of Growing families the natural and organic way) includes the SFAC product Reclaimed Teak Cheese Board with Handle in its best gifts for the Holidays section. A picture is below.
