Fair Trade Holiday Clearance

Starting today through December 31st enjoy 50% off all holiday clearance merchandise at Thousand Villages, Red Bank. Get some great deals on beautifully handcrafted ornaments, nativities and other decor, like our Andes Mountain Nativity from Allpa in Peru and a wide variety of menorahs and ornaments. Also, December 27-29 is Customer Appreciation Sale, 25% off everything in store, with a few restrictions; artisans have been paid in full.

The Broad Street store, a part of national chain, is a non-profit, whose mission is to create opportunities for artisans in developing countries to earn income by bringing their products and stories to our markets through long-term fair trading relationships. Every product in the store is fair trade and ranges from African drums to Hatian art to Peruvian jewelry. 

The store, located at 69 Broad Street, has the following hours: 
Mon-Fri: 10am - 7pm, Sat 10am to 9pm, Sun: 11am-5pm.  Any questions, call (732) 576-1621. 

Product sales help pay for food, education, healthcare and housing for artisans who would otherwise be unemployed or underemployed.
