Community Outreach

Community outreach is at the heart of Global Village’s mission, fostering cultural understanding and global awareness. Our store director and board members actively participate in local civic organizations, spreading the word about our store and advocating for the well-being of global communities and the environment.

We are also dedicated to strengthening connections with the local international community through partnerships with MSU-Billings, Rocky Mountain College, and local cultural events.

As opportunities arise, we take part in global fundraising efforts like the Rice Bowl campaign, which provides 100% of the food for children in 58 faith-based homes across nine countries. Additionally, we participate in off-site sales at holiday markets, art fairs, and community events to raise awareness about our mission, Fair Trade principles, and the artisans and producers we support.

By engaging with the community, we strive to make a meaningful impact—both locally and globally.
