Ten Thousand Villages Champaign/Peoria is now Village Roots.
As the national Ten Thousand Villages network restructures, stores like ours have been invited to step into their own identity while continuing to carry the fair trade movement forward.
We celebrate our roots in Champaign-Urbana (since 1985) and love being a part of this community. We are rooted in our commitment to work in solidarity with small-scale farmers, artisans, marginalized communities, consumers and enterprises worldwide. Our unique products share the roots of our partners around the world and provide them access to markets and sustainable livelihoods.
While our name has changed, our purpose has not. We believe in a world where trade can be a force for good, and where all people can thrive with dignity and respect.
