The St. Jude Peace and Social Justice Ministry will host a two-day Fair Trade Fair on Saturday, Nov. 1, from noon – 7 p.m. and Sunday, Nov. 2, from 8 a.m. – 2 p.m. featuring hundreds of handcrafts from artisans around the world. Through purchases of fair trade crafts, chocolate and coffee, artisans and farmers in more than 30 countries are helped out of poverty.
