FREE CHOCOLATE

People always ask me what they can do to help fight modern-day slavery.  Here are two ways from Not For Sale – and they are free!  Request your free fair-trade chocolate to spread the word about child slavery in cocoa production.

FREE Chocolate Fundraiser
Use fairly made chocolate to support YOUR school and help rescued kids at the same time!
__________________________________

This Fall, you can raise support for your school, church, club or organization while helping kids rescued from slavery in West Africa. And you can do it just by selling chocolate! Now that’s a pretty sweet deal if we’ve ever seen one.

The Reason:
70-80% of the world’s chocolate is produced in a region where forced labor is endemic in the supply chain.  As consumers we can ensure the chocolate we eat, buy, and sell is produced through a socially, economically, and environmentally sustainable way.

Ghana cocoa


The Fundraiser:
Selling chocolate is a common fundraiser for schools, clubs, and campaigns.  Why not sell chocolate that supports children rescued from slavery in Ghana and ensures forced labor isn’t being used in its production?  40% of the funds raised go back to YOU! And 25% help freed children in Ghana!

It Tastes Great!Sweet Earth
Not For Sale is working with Sweet Earth Chocolates to offer four great flavors: Bittersweet (Dark), Peanut Crunch, Milk Chocolate, and
Peppermint Crunch!

Its as Easy as 1, 2, 3..
We take all the hassle out of this fundraiser and made it truly worth your time!

1st – Email us and request chocolate order forms
2nd - take orders from your friends, family, and community and mail back orders
3rd – distribute the chocolate to those who ordered it!

Chocolate and Freedom have never tasted so sweet!


You can help us spread the word by forwarding this email broadly, and passing on to blogs, etc!
Fall is Fast Approaching…

This Halloween: Give Chocolate Back!

TransFair USA

On October 31, 2009, families across the US and Canada will unite to help:

* END forced labor in the cocoa industry

* ERADICATE poverty among cocoa farmers

* PROMOTE Fair Trade
* CHANGE Consumer Habits…

…by giving Fair Trade chocolate back to adults as they Trick-or-Treat in their communities this Halloween.

The chocolate is attached to a card with information about social and environmental justice issues in the cocoa industry, and it explains why buying Fair Trade certified chocolate provides a solution.
Reverse Trick-or-Treating is an initiative launched by the human rights organization Global Exchange in cooperation with the Fair Trade company Equal Exchange. It is a collaboration of kids, students and adults across the nation, supported by schools, nonprofits, faith-based organizations, and Fair Trade companies.
Now you can transform Halloween into a meaningful event by giving back to your neighbors and to cocoa growing communities.
Best of All… Reverse Trick-or-Treating kits are FREE
