For nearly twenty years, the Fellowship was a driving force, with other local faith communities and the Dutchess County Interfaith Council, in a weekend-long Fair Trade Bazaar during the winter holiday season. The Bazaar was a spiritual and ethical shopping experience, one way of helping people become socially and economically aware of the origins of their goods, and the fact that buying something cheaply often means that the labor force responsible for its production was unfairly compensated.
The last Bazaar was held in December of 2019, and has not been held since due to the pandemic. Maybe this year!
