To promote just compensation for coffee growers and to earn money for our projects, we will be selling fair trade coffee after all Masses on the first week-end of each month at St Joseph University Parish, 3269 Main St, Buffalo, NY 14214. Mass times Sat. 4:30 pm, Sun. 8:30, 10, 11:30.
Coffee sales have been very helpful in raising funds to support FIOH-USA. So far profits have been about $200.00 each month. These funds have made a huge difference especially since the post-election violence. Prices of food and other essential items have tripled. FIOH-USA working closely with FIOH-K have provided food and emergency supplies for many destitute villagers in the Kisumu, Kenya area.
Thanks to all the "caffeine addicts" at St. Joesph's Church. We appreciate your support.
We also sell fairly traded tea for all you tea lovers.
