ABOUT US
Welcome to Ten Thousand Villages in Goshen's historic downtown! Our beautiful, unique crafts show the difference fair trade makes in the lives of artisans around the world. Established in 1977, we are celebrating our 40th anniversary of bringing fair trade to Goshen and surrounding communities. Follow us on Facebook and sign up for our email list to keep updated on special anniversary events through the year and follow our Link.tre for more information on our social media pages and upcoming events.
Ten Thousand Villages has been in Goshen since 1977, one of the earliest established stores in the network. It began as a combined "gift and thrift" shop in the Peddler's Village complex, moved to downtown Main Street for a few years, then relocated to the Depot, just south of the Old Bag Factory, in 1994. In 2008, we returned to Goshen's historic downtown in a beautifully restored storefront. For 40 years we have offered a fair trade marketplace to connect shoppers in Goshen and surrounding communities with skilled and creative artisans around the globe.

VOLUNTEER
Volunteer with us! As a nonprofit store, volunteers are crucial to our success. Volunteers work with customers, unpack orders, and serve on our board. We would love to have you join our team!
Two evening classes are held for prospective volunteers (both classes must be attended), to learn more about Ten Thousand Villages and decide if volunteering is right for you. The balance of orientation is held on a one-on-one basis during first shifts in the store. Please call or email the store to find out when the next evening classes are scheduled.
Feel free to call the store at 574-533-8491, or email us at goshen@tenthousandvillages.com, for more information. Fill out the form below to complete a volunteer application. Once your application is received, someone from the store will contact you. We look forward to working with you!
