Millennium Development Goals/ Fair Trade Group
Members of this group feel proud that St. John's signed on as the first Fair Trade church in Mankato and that we pledge 0.7% of our annual budget to improving extreme poverty in the world. The main goal is to educate on both topics. In the process, MDG/Fair Trade hosts a Fair Trade Bazaar, Reverse Trick-or-Treating, a re active int he Mankato Fair Trade Town Initiative, serve only Fair Trade coffee and sell Fair Trade products. Good causes world-wide are researched and our parishioners are provided choices in deciding where we can donate our MDG money each year.
We encourage you to check out the Mankato Area Fair Trade Town Initiative website for more information on Fair Grade and the work being done to make Mankato and North Mankato Fair Trade Towns.
