Community Missions

For even the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve...

Mark 10:45

We provide financial support to several community organizations.  A portion of the proceeds from all fundraising activities is also dedicated to supporting community and international missions.




Additional ways we provide support:
•Back-to-school supplies
•Mittens, hats, and scarves at Christmas
•Clothes for a clothing boutique throughout the year
•Christmas gifts for a local family in need
•Weekly support of food cupboards

Our Blend Coffee & Roastery

Where COFFEE, COMMUNITY, and COURAGE unite! Our Blend Coffee & Roastery grew from a shared experience in a nonprofit that taught coffee, community, and recovery. As women in recovery, the three owners know the value of a safe place to heal, learn, and grow.
Now, they are giving back by creating opportunities for other women to build skills, gain independence, and thrive in a supportive environment. Every bag of coffee they roast carries a story of resilience, empowerment, and hope.
