Your Presbyterian source for sweatshop-free t-shirts

Altogether, we Presbyterians print a lot of t-shirts. Unfortunately, almost all of the apparel readily available to us in stores was produced in sweatshops. The good news is that sweatshop-free shirts are available from the PC(USA), ready to print with your group's logo or design. Whether you're creating shirts for your youth group, upcoming mission trip, presbytery summer camp, congregational celebration or special event, put your faith in practice by choosing Sweat-Free Ts!

The Sweat-Free Ts available through Presbyterian Distribution Service (PDS) are produced by a women's sewing cooperative in Nicaragua. Together the members own and operate the cooperative as a small business, thanks in part to support from the One Great Hour of Sharing. They even built their building with their own hands! Learn more about the women by reading their story.

Give now: help the workers expand their cooperative.
