Impact
Our hope is that we have many avenues of impact. As a first generation Mexican-American, we want to represent our culture within our city of Grand Rapids. Half the coffee in the world is sourced in Central and South America, and we want to bring more recognition to those farmers. We also want to increase the the accessibility of specialty coffee to Grand Rapids. Our city is rapidly growing and the demand for specially coffee is also growing. We want to offer the best possible coffee for our city. Our mission is to connect people through coffee, and what better way to do that than with a mobile coffee cart. We go wherever you want us to. We want to make your next event special.
What I'll do with $5,000
We would use that to get our coffee cart, grow our marketing strategy, grow our website, create content, grow our engagement, and produce a line of merch.
