Racine is home to many talented artisans and craftsmen that make the holidays a perfect opportunity to give a unique and one of a kind treasure.
Purchasing Made in America products with your consumer dollar translates into jobs for American workers. Our communities benefit from a strong workforce and you can help.
Fair Trade products are a fairly new concept to consumers. Fair Trade certification means products have been created sustainably and in responsible agreements with workers to be both self-sustaining and stable.
Giving gifts in the name of a friend or family is a great way to celebrate without adding more "stuff" to the holiday bounty. There are many uniquely local organizations who will appreciate your tribute and thoughtfulness.
