Giving back

What Drives Me?

Growing up, my parents constantly volunteered my siblings and me to help at any event. We participated in everything from working the ticket booth at the school carnival to cleaning dishes after serving dinners at the local homeless shelter. In our house, it was very much Community first.

When we started the Stephen James Curated Coffee Collection, one of the first items the team discussed was how to address Community Impact. How could we help focus the impact on our company and our consumers? We wanted a clear focus on our team's personal causes and then figured how to create a more significant effect on hand-picked charities.

Then we were introduced to the GIVZ app. This integration would allow us to feature four charities while still enabling our consumers to direct donations toward their preferred causes. Now you can control where the dollars generated from your purchase are going - and for us, that was the ultimate win.
