For its third year, Global Exchange is presenting "Reverse Trick-or-Treating"
This Halloween, it is kids who will be giving treats to adults!
Hundreds of groups of Trick-or-Treaters in the United States and Canada will unite to help:
END poverty among cocoa farmers
END forced/abusive child labor in the cocoa industry
PROMOTE Fair Trade
PROTECT the environment
A pleasant surprise will greet nearly a quarter million people distributing candy at their door, when youth reverse the Halloween tradition to hand adults a sample of vegan-friendly, Fair Trade dark chocolate.
The chocolate will be accompanied by a card informing recipients of poverty and child labor problems in the cocoa industry, affecting mainstream candy enjoyed at Halloween and around the year, and how Fair Trade certified chocolate provides a solution.
Parents of last year’s youngest participants raved about how Reverse Trick-or-Treating transformed Halloween into a meaningful event when youthful activists can give back to their neighbors and to cocoa growing communities.
The chocolate and cards are FREE!
Thanks to generous donations of Fair Trade chocolate companies listed below.
Recipients are charged shipping and packing supplies only, which is $5.50.
