Giving back

Part of why we are “in” to coffee – is that coffee seems to have an ability to break down barriers and bring people together. Around our cafes and roastery we talk about how we exist to connect to and care for the community that gathers around beautiful coffee. We receive so much from the communities where we buy coffee. We come to love the people who frequent our cafes and that spurs us to want to give back where we can.

One of the ways we give back is donating to needs locally and internationally. Our Sweet Bloom team has chosen to partner with a handful of like-minded organizations to care for our community – both far and near. Here are the organizations we are currently supporting.

Water for
people

Water is essential to coffee. From growing, to processing, to brewing, our experience with coffee would be impossible without water. Most of us can take water for granted, but 1 in 4 people in the world struggle for access to clean water. That’s why we support Water For People.

Water For People is an international nonprofit based in Denver, Colorado. Their goal is to bring water, sanitation, and hygiene services to everyone, and to make sure those solutions last forever.

They are working toward this ambitious goal by partnering with local community members, businesses, and governments, helping them bring sustainable water and sanitation systems to their communities. Then they ensure these communities have the training and tools they need to maintain those systems for generations.

Compassion
International

Compassion International is a Faith-based non-profit headquartered in Colorado Springs. Working through local Christian churches in many of the places coffee grows, they develop long-term relationships with children, their families, and their communities to provide holistic child development programs.

These programs encourage the healthy development of these children – physically, spiritually, socially, emotionally, and economically. As they grow, the mission is to help them move out of poverty into a sustainable and satisfying life.

In many of the places where coffee grows people struggle with hunger. Bread for the World’s goal is to end hunger in our lifetime. They believe everyone must play a part in ending hunger, including our federal government. Here is what they say about themselves:

“Bread for the World is a Christian advocacy organization urging U.S. decision makers to do all they can to pursue a world without hunger. Our mission is to educate and equip people to advocate for policies and programs that can help end hunger in the U.S. and around the world.”
