The Presbyterian Coffee Project
The Presbyterian Coffee Project is a way to help people in need while enjoying fellowship and an excellent cup of coffee. Presbyterian congregations that participate are supporting fair trade-practices which complement our mission with farmers in Latin
America, Africa and Asia, as well as our commitment to stewardship of the natural environment.
Purchase of this coffee ensures a fair price to the farmers as many struggle for basic subsistence. Please join us at Fellowship Hour each Sunday for an opportunity to sample this coffee, purchase fairly traded coffee and tea and learn more about the Coffee Project and Fair Trade. Some special regular favors are, Organic Ethiopian, Café Salvador, and Café Nicaragua. Decaffeinated flavor is Organic Columbian and some of the flavored coffees include Hazelnut Crème, French Vanilla and Toffee Caramel.
