BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS THROUGH COFFEE
We use coffee to build relationships! Maybe it’s obvious that coffee brings people together, but our vision is to make a difference in both our local and global communities. As a mission-minded business, we are dedicated to buying from small farmers and sharing hope from the harvest. We do this by roasting, brewing, and serving a product we love, then either donate a portion of our profits or serve directly at both local and global organizations.
Coffee is important to us, but relationships are paramount.
OUR GLOBAL PARTNERS
We partner with organizations in the countries where we purchase coffee that then benefits the local community.
LIVING WATER INTERNATIONAL
A portion of our retail coffee bean sales (1%) goes to solving the world water crisis by partnering with Living Water International.
ABOUT LIVING WATER INTERNATIONAL
Everything begins with water. Water is the foundation of all sustainable development. It impacts every aspect of life: hygiene and sanitation, mental and social well-being, justice issues for women and children, education, the economy, and the environment. Yet 771 million people lack basic access to water, trapped in a cycle of poverty when their most essential human need is inaccessible.
Living Water currently works in over 17 countries and has completed over 23,000 water projects worldwide! They believe that working with and through the local church is key to successful and sustainable projects, as churches are long-term grassroots organizations with deep local knowledge and relationships. They work directly with the community to provide safe water through different water solutions, such as water wells. The implemented water services must be safe, reliable, accessible, affordable, and available to everyone.
FEED MY STARVING CHILDREN
Each year we get a group of people together to serve at a local food packing site where we help make meal packs for children across the world. In 2023, we helped contribute to a total of 1,280,232 meal packs that were sent out to Malawi, Uganda, Honduras, and Haiti.
ABOUT FEED MY STARVING CHILDREN
Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) believes hope starts with food. FMSC works with food distribution partners that stay with communities for the long haul, empowering them to move from relief to development. Every year, millions of children die from preventable causes such as pneumonia, diarrhea, malaria, and undernutrition. Hunger is still causing nearly half of deaths in children under 5 years old. From this data, we estimate at least 6,200 children die each day from causes related to undernutrition. This is heartbreaking.
FMSC meals are developed by food science and nutrition professionals to supplement nutritional needs and reduce problems with malnutrition. Nutrition allows children to grow, thrive, and develop to their full potential. Each day our partners distribute FMSC meals in schools, orphanages, clinics, and feeding programs around the world to deliver hope and break the cycle of poverty. They have distributed over 4 billion meals to date!
This year we will serve from October 9 - 13, 2024.
