Fundraising
Does your school sell chocolate as a fundraiser? If so, where does that chocolate come from? Has child labour been used in the process? This is a very real possibility. By using Four Corners chocolate, tea and coffee in your fundraising at school or church you can be certain that your fundraiser is benefiting others in the world, rather than harming them.

Selling
Consignment sales are the cornerstone of Four Corners, and are dependent upon people like you who are willing to volunteer some time to host a sale in your church or community. Hosting a sale involves ordering products from CLWR and establishing a sales date and location. The money earned from purchases and the leftover products are then returned to Four Corners.
We have strong relationships with Evangelical Lutheran Women (ELW), Lutheran Women’s Missionary League—Canada (LWMLC) and Anglican Church Women (ACW). If you are a member of any of these groups, you can consult with your regional coordinator for support and information.
