Drink Coffee. Do Good.


At IC Church of Christ we are looking to change how we do coffee.  When Suzi and I went to Catalyst-One Day we met up with a group called, Land of a Thousand Hills Coffee Company.  Here is the basis for their company from their website:

"What if you could impact a village by drinking a cup of coffee? When we learned that the 1994 genocide in Rwanda devastated the coffee growing community and left the surviving growers in unjust conditions, we invested in a roaster and a few bags of green coffee beans from Rwanda and launched a new experience grounded in coffee, community, justice."

 Anyway, this story really connected with us.  So we are in the process of changing over all of our coffee to Thousand Hills coffee.  It's such a simple way to have a huge impact on people.  Oh...and it's great coffee too!
