Donate to a Coffee Harvest of Change | Celebrating De La Gente’s 12 Year Company Anniversary
Celebrating our 12th year anniversary is a celebration of all who have been a part of our work and the collective impact made possible over the years. As we reflect on our company anniversary, we’re reminded that like coffee, our work continues to grow – branching outwards, strengthening our roots, and creating new opportunities with every coffee harvest season. Our company anniversary milestone marks a turning point shaped by the collective efforts of the coffee producers we work with, our team, and our growing coffee community who uplift us and our work.
Honoring Our Roots | De La Gente’s Journey As We Build a Brighter Future for Coffee Communities in Guatemala
Our roots begin in small family owned coffee farms in the highlands of Guatemala with dreams of self improvement, generational knowledge, and hard work.
At De La Gente, our work is led by our roots. As we’re transforming supply chains and creating impact in the lives of small-scale coffee producers in Guatemala, we honor coffee as a livelihood, legacy, and pathway towards opportunity. De La Gente works with and represents over 140 small-scale producers located in four of Guatemala’s coffee-growing regions, and are members of nine partner cooperatives. Our mission – creating economic opportunities for coffee producing communities – is what continues to connect us to our roots, guiding everything that we do. By using coffee as a vehicle for change, we’re able to channel nearly $350,000 in annual sales directly into our partner coffee-producing communities.
A Global Day of Giving Thanks | Community Impact During the Season of Giving
This season of giving, we’d like to encourage you to take a moment to read a cooperative impact story featuring some of the incredible community impact that you’ve made possible with your support and that we’ve been honored to be a part of. Every act of giving fuels these efforts – proving that when people come together with compassion and commitment, lasting change is possible. The goals of our partner cooperatives along with our shared mission at De La Gente have been achieved, and continue to do so, all thanks to you.
