Visit the NW Food Front location during the month of October to get your FREE reverse trick-or-treating kit! The Northwest Fair Trade Coalition, in partnership with Food Front Cooperative grocery in Northwest Portland, is providing Portland families with an alternative way to celebrate halloween. On Halloween night, children will hand candy back to the adults who answer their door at over 100,000 households nation-wide this Halloween. Children still get to enjoy the fun of going door-to-door, and in turn they can educate their neighborhood about the presence and availability of Fair Trade chocolates, and the issues that necessitate the need for fair trade items.
Reverse trick-or-treating is a national event that started fifty years ago to raise awareness of the child labor, forced labor, trafficking, poverty and environmental degradation that is widespread on cocoa farms. Through the campaign, children are making a stand that these exploitative practices will not be tolerated! Join us and Reverse Trick-or-Treaters around the country in reaching over 200,000 households this year!
Come down to the NW Food Front Cooperative at 2375 NW Thurman St. Portland, Oregon 97210.You can get maps and directions here. If you are unable to get your FREE kit, you can dowload and print off these flyers to distribute to houses and spread this important message.
WE APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT. DONATIONS TO THE COALITION TO RAISE MORE AWARENESS ABOUT FAIR TRADE AND ECONOMIC JUSTICE CAN BE MADE ALL MONTH AT NW FOOD FRONT COOP!!
