Neighbors & Nations

Using our business as a tool for change - investing in organizations that bring hope and transformation, both in our own community and around the world.

The heart behind the page

Loving our neighbors - near and far.

Mark 12:31 - Galatians 6:2

As followers of Jesus, we believe that it is our responsibility to love and serve our neighbors and make a difference in the world. We believe in making a lasting impact both locally and globally by supporting organizations that are making a Kingdom impact in our community (Neighbors) and beyond (Nations).

Our Neighbors & Nations program is rooted in our commitment to utilize our business as a tool for change - investing in organizations that bring hope and transformation in the lives of others.

We support these organizations through financial contributions, tip donations, mentorship, and various other forms of partnership - including our Coffee & Tea for a Cause program.

01 - Local
Neighbors

In our community.

Organizations doing Kingdom work right here in Columbus and Central Ohio - the people and places we see every week.

02 - Global
Nations

Around the world.

Partners carrying hope, education, and transformation to communities across the globe - often the places our coffee comes from.

The calling

Grounded in the greatest commandment.

Mark 12:30-31

"And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these."

The greatest commandment

Galatians 6:2

"Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ."

The law of Christ

Four ways we show up as partners.

Partnership takes many forms. Some are financial, some are relational - all are rooted in a belief that business can be a tool for transformation.

01 - Financial

Direct financial contributions

Regular, unrestricted giving to organizations doing the work - because trusted leaders on the ground know what they need.

02 - Tips

Tip donations

A portion of tips from the roastery and the mobile cart goes directly to our rotating Neighbors & Nations partner of the month.

03 - Relationships

Mentorship & hands

Time, expertise, and presence. Showing up to help with events, offering counsel, and walking alongside the organizations we back.

04 - Product

Coffee & Tea for a Cause

A custom bag of coffee or tea, co-branded with a partner org, with a guaranteed portion of every sale going to their work.

Partners we're honored to support
