Adoption Friday

You can help support a local adoption this coming Friday.  20% of all sales on the twenty-ninth will go directly towards supporting the adoption expenses of a local family. C&D are in the process of completing their second domestic adoption.
 
C&D love children, and have felt called to provide a nurturing environment for young children who through no fault of their own have been born into less fortunate circumstances.  At “All In” Coffee Shop we view philanthropy as one of our core values, and have placed a special emphasis on assisting vulnerable children.  C&D are close friends of many of us here at “All In” Coffee, and we are very excited about assisting in this adoption fundraiser.

On Friday starting at 7:00 pm there will be live music brought by Joe Mullet & a few of his friends. Mullet is a local educator and school administrator with a love and gifting for music.  Some of his favorite artists include Rich Mullins and Andrew Peterson.  Come on out and support a great cause while enjoying music, coffee, and delicious pastries.

Core Value Blog Series: (Community Partnerships)

We wish to partner with local civic and student organizations, churches, and businesses to enhance programming options for the greater Clemson Community.  We have a large conference room at the rear of our building that is generally open for regular seating but can be closed off for meetings and special events.  In the main part of the coffee shop we have a small elevated stage that can be used to help showcase local talent.  At the front of the building our large front deck works well for students meeting for group projects or church groups conducting Bible studies.  If we can be of service to you or your organization please feel free to email us at allincoffee@gmail.com.  We will gladly attempt to answer any questions you might have.

Core Value Blog Series: (Philanthropy)

Philanthropy is an important cornerstone upon which we’ve based our business.  Each month we donate two percent of our gross sale directly towards meeting humanitarian needs around the world.  We have a special focus on water projects, orphan care and human trafficking. 

During the month of May our donation went towards water projects in the West African nation of Sierra Leone.  Although Sierra Leone is rich in natural resources and natural beauty, a brutal civil war took place between 1991-2002 and it ended up wreaking havoc on the nation.   At one point the UN declared it the worst country in the world in which to live. 

Since 2002 a rebuilding effort has been underway, yet many parts of the country lack access to basic health and sanitation services.  Clean drinking water is important for the health of any community.  During the month of May your purchase of coffee and desserts at “All In” Coffee Shop helped contribute to the health of a Sierra Leonean Community.

During the month of June we plan to partner with Jamaica Relief Ministries in providing funding towards their work in orphan care.  Jamaica Relief Ministries works in providing foster care for children in need.  In addition to foster care, Jamaica Relief Ministries, partners with a government run orphanage in raising the level of care provided to local vulnerable children.  You can find out more about Jamaica Relief Ministries at http://www.jamaicarm.org.  Jamaica Relief Ministries has a local thrift store in the Sandy Springs Community where all proceeds help found their work on the beautiful island nation of Jamaica.
