John,

We are excited to share a new partnership with Equal Exchange, a national leader in ethical food and drink products, who recently joined our newly founded Catholic Community Ethical Purchasing Alliance as a production partner.

In celebration of this new partnership, from now until October 18th, Equal Exchange will be donating 10% of all purchases of coffee, tea, chocolate, and other food products to the Ignatian Solidarity Network if customers use the code EEISN21 when placing their order online.

Started in 1986, Equal Exchange's mission is to build long-term trade partnerships that are economically just and environmentally sound, to foster mutually beneficial relationships between farmers and consumers, and to demonstrate, through our success, the contribution of worker co-operatives and Fair Trade to a more equitable, democratic, and sustainable world.  

This special fundraiser is an opportunity for parishes, schools, organizations, and individuals to support ISN while purchasing organic, ethically traded products at wholesale case prices, and ensuring that more of your money spent on coffee, tea, chocolate, and other products reaches the hardworking farmers who actually grow them.

I hope you can share this opportunity with people in your personal network, including your faith or educational community. You can download an informational flyer here. 

It could be a chance for you to do some early Christmas shopping, purchase gifts for friends, or stock your cupboard with some delicious items. The possibilities are endless!
