Peace on Fifth is a compassionate commerce store.  We believe in compassion to planets, animals, AND people. Come and visit us to learn more about what we do.  By the way we have moved! Our new address is 508 E Fifth Street, Dayton Ohio 45402. 

Come out and see what exciting things are happening at Peace on Fifth.
We work to expand your awareness of the issues of labor, debt bondage and domestic servitude; the labor side of human trafficking. Every day you can make a choice to change the world. At Peace on Fifth we make it easy to make small every day changes. We support local and national artists along with small groups of international artisans that have a zero (don't use) or negative (actively fight against) impact on human trafficking. Pretty cool, right?

Thank you for supporting us so that we can continue to support them. We love you and are so happy to have you stop in for a visit.

A Cool Drink of Water
By Barbara Kerley

An Italian boy sips from a fountain
in the town square. A hiker takes
a refreshing drink from a mountain
stream. Black-robed women in India stride gracefully through a field with brass water jugs balanced on their heads. Whether they squeeze it out of a burlap bag,
haul it home from a communal tap, or get it out of their kitchen faucet, people all around the world are unified by their common need for water. Barbara Kerley brings home this point simply and eloquently in this beautiful and educational picture book that combines striking National Geographic photographs with a poetic text to show how people in various cultures use and conserve the world's
most vital resource. (google books)
