MIDLAND, TEXAS - Four local ministries will team up for a night of fair trade shopping, coffee and live music this weekend at The Ground Floor.

Scarlet Threads, Africa Bridges of Hope, No.41 and Noonday Collection will hold a fair trade shopping sale from 7-10 p.m. Saturday at the downtown coffee shop, 203 W. Wall St. Admission is free.

Live music will be provided by singer-songwriter Jami Stotts, who along with her husband founded Restoration Farm in late 2011, a local ministry that houses single mothers and their children. Voluntary contributions to the musician will benefit Restoration Farm.

All four ministries will sell fair trade items made by artisans around the world who are paid a fair living wage for their services.
