We are now receiving donations from our partners at Grace Street Coffee! This independent coffee shop is located at 3210 Grace Street NW. They offer a variety of responsibly sourced single-origin coffees from around the world, roasted in small batches on-site. Corey Geier, roaster at Grace Street Coffee since 2016, says that his enthusiasm for drinking and sharing coffee led him here. This enthusiasm now extends to GMC. The team at Grace Street was looking to donate excess beans that are roasted but not sold, and found GMC through an investor at their shop who also donates to the ministry center. We calculated the amount of coffee our guests drink in a week, and Grace Street was glad to donate the beans. We can now offer better coffee that is more sustainably sourced, and we can be more environmentally responsible by using coffee that might have gone to waste otherwise. Corey’s motivation to donate is simple: he says, “we’re here because we love the neighborhood, and we want to make it as good as possible.”
