“Fair Trade on Main” is a fair trade store operated by Brethren Community Services. It is open Saturdays, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. We sell “fair trade” items made by craftspeople in 85 developing countries, who are paid a fair and just wage, by their local standards, for their products. Volunteers man the cash register, greet customers, answer questions, stock shelves, arrange displays, etc. New volunteers are paired with experienced ones and have two hours of training before starting. Brethren Community Services’ primary mission is to develop affordable housing and supportive services for low-income adults with psychiatric disabilities, in cooperation with ShelterCare, a Lane County non-profit that currently operates such services at the site. The store is a way to raise funds for our projects and to educate people about who we are.
