FAIR TRADE COFFEE

FAIR TRADE COFFEE SERVED AT ZION

For members of Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church, coffee -- one of the most heavily traded commodities in the world -- is also a matter of faith and justice.
​
After Sunday morning worship or during an evening church council meeting the deep, rich aroma and smooth, caramel-like taste of coffee can be invigorating for Lutherans.   According to Lutheran World Relief (LWR), some 20 million coffee farmers in Africa, Asia and Latin America often struggle to make a simple living and lack adequate health care and education for their children.  One way Lutherans are supporting coffee farmers is by purchasing coffee directly from farmers in a process called "fair trade."  For the coffee farmer today, selling a harvested crop can be tough.  In the free market, they may receive as little as 15 cents per pound,  Through fair trade practices, coffee farmers are earning more.
​
Coffee is such an integral part of ZELC life, that it makes sense for the congregation to support economic and social justice by purchasing fair trade coffee.  So come enjoy a warm cup of coffee after Sunday worship and know that you are having a hand in fair trade.

You can also purchase fair trade coffee to take home! See the basket in the hallway near the atrium (next to the elevators).
