Wouldn't it be great to find a really unique gift and contribute to a good cause at the same time?.
The Goods
Here is your chance to accomplish both. Ten Thousand Villages works with artisans from around the globe who would otherwise be unemployed or underemployed. Their effort helps improve the economic situations of an estimated 50,000 artisans by providing income that can pay for nutritious food, education, health care and housing.
You'll find beautiful woven baskets, jade statues and jewelry, wood sculptures, pottery and more at this one-of-a-kind shopping experience.
Thousands of volunteers in Canada and the US work with Ten Thousand Villages in their home communities. The store is part of a program of Mennonite Central Committee (MCC), the service, relief and development agency of Mennonite and Brethren in Christ churches in North America.
