Fundraising Focus


 Just Love Coffee

This is a super easy fundraiser we began last October.  We have a personalized "Just Love Coffee" webpage where people can go order some VERY yummy coffee and have it delivered directly to their front door.  We receive proceeds from EVERY SINGLE order and have a check mailed to us each month.

If you are a coffee drinker, would you please go check out our page and consider trying some of this coffee?  You may click on the link included in this e-mail, OR simply click on the "Just Love Coffee" photo and link on our sidebar.  There are MANY different options to chose from, so take a few minutes to look at everything.  Just make sure you start on OUR homepage (there is a picture of us) to make sure we receive our proceeds.

If you are interested in a little background as to how "Just Love Coffee" was started, keep reading :-)

Rob Webb knows coffee. When Rob was two years old, his father started Webb’s Coffee Service, which blossomed into a full-blown refreshment service supplying businesses in Nashville, TN and the surrounding areas, and is now run by Rob.

Rob Webb knows the adoption process. In the summer of 2008, Rob and his wife Emily were called to adopt from Ethiopia. After much prayer and discussion with their first two children they started their adoption journey in August 2008. During the flurry of paperwork and preparation, Rob & Emily read books not only on adoption in general, but specifically on Ethiopia. Learning that Ethiopia is the birthplace of coffee caught Rob’s attention, and after reading about the living conditions and wages of the average coffee farmer, he was compelled to take action. What developed through his reading and his trip to Ethiopia to unite with his daughters was a realization that he could combine his expertise and longstanding desire to roast his own coffees with his desire to help others. Just Love Coffee Roasters was born! Roasting Fair Trade Specialty coffees, Just Love uses proceeds to help an Ethiopian orphanage and families adopting not just from Ethiopia, but from anywhere in the world.
