100% of the proceeds are returned to 20 non-profit and charitable organizations, orphanages, schools, women’s cooperatives helping women support themselves and their families, organizations promoting conservation, sustainability, community production of needs such as water and food; all making a significant difference in the lives of families in some of the poorest regions of the world.
For more information on the organizations and the market visit us on Facebook or our website:

Stop by and visit the Cafe, you will likely find me behind the window serving soup… We have dozens of different homemade soups and delicious baked goods for sale throughout the day. Drinks and fruit also available. Soup-to-go for those in a hurry! Proceeds from the Cafe help pay for Market expenses as all the proceeds are returned to the non-profit groups and collectives around the world (around $79,000 in 2014).
