Do you want a means to directly help homeless children and global orphans where 100% of your donation goes to helping children? Want this charitable donation to help build a sense of community in your office? And here's a twist - at the same time you can greatly improve the coffee you serve in your office.
For most Americans, the best way to start one's day is with the perfect cup of coffee. It wakes up the senses and kicks the day into high gear. At Mission Grounds, we offer gourmet coffee in simple bags that will make a difference in the life of a child. Though not a religious organization, our business was founded by a small group of friends who felt God's calling to help impoverished and neglected children in Atlanta and in countries around the world. While on various mission trips, we realized that children are the ones who suffer the most in poor economic conditions. They are easily abandoned or neglected by their parents and oftentimes must survive with no job, no training, and no formal education. Through Mission Grounds' partnerships, we endeavor to help these children by donating all our proceeds to needy children.

When we started our organization, we knew that our circle of friends would buy the coffee at least once to help children. Our hope was that they would continue to buy it because the quality and flavor surpassed any other coffee in their kitchens or corner coffee shops. We are happy to say that our circle of friends continues to grow . Mission Grounds has recently received vendor approval from Whole Foods and Kroger stores in Atlanta and across Georgia.

The only overhead costs incurred by Mission Grounds are those required to transport the coffee to the store and properly display it. These expenses are less than 5% of our total costs, yet 100% of our proceeds are donated to children. Additionally, many of our products are Fair Trade Coffees which means that we purchase coffee beans from small local farmers by paying them a fair price. By adhering to Fair Trade guidelines, we are able to help even more children by pouring money into local economies.

Since our inception in late 2005, Mission Grounds - has donated approximately $121,800 to children in Atlanta and around the world. Financial support has been used to build orphanages and provide care to infants needing formula and medical care associated with HIV. We anticipate assisting with more orphanage construction projects in 2008 but need your help to continue helping these precious children. And with all our donations we make sure 100 percent of the donation goes to the homeless children. Unlike other non profits we are an operating business with steady income so we don't have to use our donations to offset overhead. So take comfort your corporate donation is 100 percent going to help kids.

Mission Grounds requests companies to consider serving our coffee and making a corporate donation on top of the coffee expense allowing us to continue to support more and more homeless children. We have initiated an online sales program via our website . And we are selling very well at our existing stores - without any marketing we are in the top three coffee sales for Kroger - Proving its a great coffee.

So you serve a better coffee. And help homeless children. And build a sense of community. We can set up company out reach days for your employees too. What an easy home run: turn your current coffee expense into a way to help homeless children and build the morale in your office too. And every day when your employees drink their coffee - it's a subtle but smooth reminder of what a great thing their company is doing.

And if you are a small business or want to help personally we have a great Help A Child Program : The Children's Club. You donate a monthly amount to a certain homeless shelter or orphanage and in return receive two bags of coffee. For example you can donate $20, or $25 or even $50 to the Jars of Clay Homeless Shelter in Atlanta and in return every month receive two bags of coffee. So you are getting a great coffee and supporting a homeless child every month with a easy monthly donation. And the plan is flexible and allows you to budget what you can afford or want to donate.
Very sincerely,
