Meeting Community Needs
Grounds for Caring Program: Through this program, we support several non-profit organizations in coffee growing regions and contribute to more than 200 educational and social services organizations throughout the U.S. every year. We also donate coffee to missions and homeless shelters in local communities throughout the Greater Los Angeles area.

Coffee Kids: Since 1988, Coffee Kids has been helping coffee-farming families improve the quality of their lives through healthcare and education. Gaviña has been a proud supporter of Coffee Kids for many years.

Grounds for Health: This organization works with healthcare professionals in coffee growing communities to create sustainable and effective cancer screening programs. Since 2007, we have been an avid supporter of this organization, helping fund their life-saving programs.
