Call for volunteers for Front Space
The project to construct a new area for dry goods in the Co-op is entering its final stages. In the spirit of the co-operative movement, the goal has been for members contribute as much skills, time, experience and sweat to the efforts as possible, helping keep costs down. We are looking for volunteers with appropriate skills and experience to give some time toward the final push.
Please make yourself and your enthusiasm known by contacting Owenroe Lemass - orlemass@hotmail.com / 086 108 9573.

Fairtrade Fortnight Events
Dublin Food Co-op marked Fairtrade Fortnight with a number of events and used the opportunity to give added profile to our extensive range of fairtrade produce, whose sales raise the income of producers in the developing world.
On Saturday 27th February, we were delighted to welcome Hella Alikuru and Oscar González to speak about their experience of the positive impact of Fair Trade in the developing world. Hella's talk focused on her experience as Fair Trade International Regional Coordinator for East Africa, a role she combines with representing the International Union of Food and Agricultural Workers. Oscar discussed the benefits that fair trade certification brings to his coffee co-operative in Matagalpa, Nicaragua, for which he acts as Communications Director.
