From Brazil to The Cove: Alumni turn faith into action

Just yesterday, the Director of the Office of Volunteer Services at the University of Portland wrote a nice little story about Nossa Familia Coffee and our involvement with our alma mater in yesterdays campus newspaper.

UP is a great account for us in so many ways. Obviously, we love the fact that so many people are being exposed to the coffee and brand on a daily basis. It's served in the main dining hall, the cafe in the student union, staff dining room, at the sporting venues and at two espresso stands. As a result, we donate back $.50 per lb to a scholarship at the school that will begin in the fall of 2007. More importantly though, being on campus allows us the opportunity to educate the end consumer on the importance of drinking sustainable coffee from a responsible company.
