United Church Of Christ
Started in 2004, the UCC Coffee Project is a collaboration
between Equal Exchange and the United Church of Christ
Justice and Witness Ministries to involve more
Congregational churches and individuals in supporting
small farmers around the world.
For each pound of fairly traded coffee, chocolate, tea, and foods
purchased through the UCC Coffee Project, 15 cents per pound
goes to the Justice and Witness Ministries' Small Farmer Fund,
supporting the UCC Franklinton Center's Just Foods Project, which enhances the
viability, vitality, and sustainability of families and small farmers in Edgecombe County,
one of the poorest areas in eastern North Carolina and the United States.
That Fund amounted to $8,965.02 in 2012 alone!
