Coffee Fundraiser

 

 

Please help us to save the

Poverty Support Services

at the Vernon and District Women’s Centre

 

 

 

Coffee for Change is a dedicated volunteer committee determined to keep the Poverty Support Services at the Vernon and District Women’s Centre open, despite government cuts.

 

Coffee for Change has recently formed a partnership with The Shuswap Coffee Company to purchase Café Femenino and Café Cherish Decaf and market and sell it here in Vernon as a fundraiser.  The Coffee for Change proceeds from coffee sales will be used to sustain the Poverty Support Services at the Vernon and District Women’s Centre.  This program offers women and children the opportunity to access showers, laundry facilities and support and referral services.  There is space to share food, ideas, information, strength, and support.  For women who are homeless or between homes, this is an essential service.  And the numbers of women in need keep rising.

 

In addition to creating local change for women, by purchasing Café Femenino you are also helping women in Peru. The women farmers involved in the Café Femenino project are paid above fair trade wages. This enables them to build a sustainable economic system; resulting in a more equitable and happier life for them and their families.

 

Here’s how you can help change the lives of poor and homeless women in Vernon and Peru:

 

By pledging to buy Café Femenino or

Café Cherish coffee on a regular basis you can make a difference!

 

It only takes 625 people to purchase 1 lb. of coffee once a month to sustain the

Vernon and District Women’s Centre’s Poverty Support Services.

 

It is our goal to receive enough pledges to sell 625 lbs of coffee every month from individuals, agencies* and businesses*!  If you want to buy great tasting coffee while helping to create local and international change for women and children in poverty, email us at coffeeforchange@yahoo.ca to let us know that you plan to start drinking** Café Femenino or Café Cherish Decaf.  By emailing us your name we can keep track of our goal.

*            If you are an agency or business making a pledge to buy our coffee, ask about free coffee delivery and free advertising on our website.

**         If you don’t drink coffee, Café Femenino and Café Cherish make excellent gifts!
