 In September of 1991, five Columbus area churches helped to open the Global Gallery. By providing money to start the operation and volunteers to help run the store, these churches began to fulfill their idea of how to help economically challenged individuals and cooperatives.
Since then, Global Gallery has expanded considerably and is now governed by a Board of Directors from the local community. In addition to working with churches, we work with universities, cultural organizations and local festivals to bring fair trade to Columbus. UNICEF joined our Short North store, adding even more ways to learn and help.
In August 2003, Global Gallery opened its second location in Easton Town Center and in August 2005, opened its third location in Yellow Springs, Ohio.
