Presents with a Purpose!

Presents with a Purpose!

In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ —Acts 20:35 (NIV)

I love giving … finding the perfect gifts, wrapping them with care, and giving them away. The joy is contagious when you watch someone’s face light up as they discover what’s within. Amidst the ribbows and bows, it’s easy to miss the purpose of Christmas and get wrapped up in things. This Christmas, make your gifts count and shop for presents that give back and help others in need. Here are a few of my favorite places to shop:Screen Shot 2014-12-09 at 9.53.58 AM

Mission: Coffee is what we grow. Helping communities is who we are. Through our coffee, we’re able to provide the necessities that are sometimes taken for granted. Things like flooring, stoves, schoolhouses, medical clinics, shoes and clothing. Yes, we’re pleased to be part of your daily coffee ritual. But we’re proudest of the things we can do for farmers and their families.

We work with some of the poorest in the world – women who have experienced a harsh reality that few in the US can imagine. It is a joy to be able to offer these women jobs and welcome them into a community they may not have the chance to experience before.
