Coffee Compassion

As you sip your coffee, do you ever think about where coffee comes from?
Around the world, literally millions of people dedicate their lives to growing coffee.

Unfortunately, the blessings of coffee don't always filter down to the people who grow it.
Coffee farmers earn as little as a pennies-a-pound for their harvest, and even during the years when crops do well and prices are high, the children of coffee growers go without much that we take for granted.
If you enjoy coffee and care about kids browse their website and learn more about CoffeeKids.org.

Coffee Book with a Cause: I LOVE COFFEE!

Author Susan Zimmer is donating a portion of the proceeds from I Love Coffee! book to Coffee Kids® (coffeekids.org), an international non-profit 501(c)(3) organization established to improve the quality of life for children and families who live in coffee-growing communities around the world.

Kids have always been close to Zimmer’s heart (and her coffee cup) and she feels this is a way of filtering support back to those people who grow the coffee beans for us to enjoy.

“Coffee Kids is a wonderful partnership between people on both sides of the coffee cup – those of us who drink it and coffee farmers along with their communities who grow coffee.”

-Susan Zimmer, Author of I LOVE COFFEE!
