WHAT IS REVERSE TRICK OR TREATING?
Thousands of groups of Trick-or-Treaters in the United States and Canada unite every year to help transform the international cocoa industry to: - END poverty in cocoa farming communities
- END forced/abusive child labor in the cocoa fields
- PROMOTE Fair Trade
- PROTECT the environment
In 2008, for the Second Annual Reverse Trick or Treating, pleasant surprise greeted nearly a quarter million people distributing candy at their door, when youth (and many adults, too!) reversed the Halloween tradition to hand adults a sample of Fair Trade chocolate.
The chocolate is accompanied by a card informing recipients of poverty and child labor problems in the cocoa industry, affecting mainstream candy enjoyed at Halloween and around the year, and how Fair Trade certified chocolate provides a solution. The chocolate and cards are FREE thanks to generous donations of Fair Trade chocolate companies listed above.
Thanks to you we may reach a quarter million households this year with our important message about Fair Trade and the cocoa industry.
