Alternative Gift Market

Our annual market hosts vendors selling fair trade, environmentally-sustainable and reasonably-priced holiday gifts that create positive change for refugees and disenfranchised populations.

Shopping Our Values

Shopping Our Values is an idea that really resonates with many of us at NDPC. Fair Trade certification is a system that supports transparency so consumers can, in fact, shop their values.

Fair Trade

FAIR TRADE means that workers are ensured of a living wage; that working conditions are safe and healthy; that there is oversight and transparency in working conditions; and that there is attention to sustainability—social, environmental, and economic—throughout production and distribution.

Building Relationships

As the number of entrepreneurial businesses launched by Clarkston residents who came to the U.S. as refugees has grown rapidly, NDPC’s Alternative Gift Market has included more and more of these local vendors. This form of “shopping our values” relies on first-hand transparency, through relationships built by members of NDPC.
