Social Justice Committee

"For me social justice and spirituality are intimately linked. Preparing food for others nourishes both my soul, by allowing me to be of service, as well as my sense of social justice, by allowing me to give of my abundance to others, thus narrowing the gap of have and have-nots a tiny bit for one meal."

Petra Stone, member of the Social Justice Committee

Better World Shopper Guide

Values

  Better World Shopping Guide www.betterworldshopper.org is a small book with big information. It grades companies on 5 issues--human rights, the environment, animal protection, community involvement and social justice.
We are selling Better World Shopping Guide to members of our congregation and the community. People love this book! We keep getting feedback that it is so simple to shop for items and support companies that are doing the right thing in their business practices. Much to our surprise, the book sold like hotcakes. After an initial order of 10, we ordered 20, then 40, then 50, then 100! We have sold over 140 books to date. It is not unusual after buying one book, that people came back and bought 5 more for their children, siblings, etc.
BECAUSE THIS INFORMATION IS SO VITAL - You can order the book for half-price or $5 from the Social Justice Committee - FOR A LIMITED TIME ONLY UNTIL DEC. 31ST .
