The Mission Marketplace is a nonprofit, volunteer-supported, community marketplace that sells many handcrafted items made by economically impoverished people in developing regions of the world. We at The Mission Marketplace believe that each village in the world represents a unique, distinctive group of people. Our goal is to create economic opportunities for craftspeople around the world through the practice of Fair Trade and attempt to increase global understanding by telling these talented artisans’ stories. Kevin Frahm, Executive Director
