The Presbyterian Coffee Project: Part of the Enough for Everyone program of the Presbyterian Church (USA) offers a special link between congregations and communities around the world. Churches can reach out to neighbors overseas not only with the offerings we give, but with the products we purchase. Americans alone drink one third of all coffee produced worldwide. Buying fair trade through the Presbyterian Coffee Project ensures that more of the money we spend on coffee, tea and chocolate reaches the farmers who actually grow them. Fair trade practices complement our mission with farmers in Latin America, Africa and Asia, as well as our commitment to stewardship of the natural environment. By using fair trade coffee in our congregations, offices and homes, Presbyterians help guarantee that farmers will earn the income they need to feed their families, educate their children and improve their communities. In addition, for each pound of coffee, tea and cocoa purchased through the project, Equal Exchange makes a contribution to the Presbyterian Small Farmer Fund which further supports coffee farmers and their families.
At First Presbyterian Church of Morehead City, we have suspended
operations to coordinate coffee orders. Instead, you may order
directly from the Equal
Exchange website. Click on SHOP to get to the Retail
