HERE IS SOME INFO FROM http://www.onelovecoffees.com/
There are an estimated 143,000,000 orphans in the world and this number is expected to grow. Rob Webb, founder of One Love Coffee Roasters, knows personally how expensive the adoption process is. The thought of having to raise tens of thousands of dollars to adopt a child is staggering to many. It can be the obstacle that stands in the way of a family’s commitment to adopt, and many times slows down the process of bringing an adoptive family’s child(ren) home. Many people don’t know where to start. One Love Coffee Roasters wants to be that starting point for raising money to help unite families with their children.
We try to make your fundraising as simple as possible for you. One Love does not ask or require you to purchase anything. We handle all of the order processing from setting up a web page specifically for your family with the coffees you have to sell, to fulfilling the orders, collecting payment securely online and sending your portion of the proceeds. All that the adoptive family is required to do is to fill out the application to validate your adoption process, complete a our W-9 form, send the link to their One Love web page to as many people as possible to generate sales for the fundraiser, and finally notify us when your adoption is complete!
When the adoption is complete, your friends and family who purchased One Love Coffee can continue to do so on our main storefront and continue to support orphans with a portion of the proceeds of all One Love Coffees going to an orphanage in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
It’s that simple!
One Love Coffee Roasters is being built as we speak. The official website is being constructed, coffees are being cupped for final roast profiles and blends and our facility is being constructed. Take the time to read our story, then sign up for our turnkey fundraising program where your family will have a dedicated store to sell One Love Coffees while we handle all of the order fulfillment. All you have to do is sign up and get the link to your store out to as many people as possible and receive your money each month! Yes, it is THAT EASY.
Fair Trade Coffees Helping Orphans & Their Forever Families!
We try to make your fundraising as simple as possible for you. One Love does not ask or require you to purchase anything. We handle all of the order processing from setting up a web page specifically for your family with the coffees you have to sell, to fulfilling the orders, collecting payment securely online and sending your portion of the proceeds ($5 per lb. bag). All that the adoptive family is required to do is to fill out the application to validate your adoption process, complete a our W-9 form, send the link to their One Love web page to as many people as possible to generate sales for the fundraiser, and finally notify us when your adoption is complete. When the adoption is complete the friends and family who purchased One Love Coffee can continue to do so on our main storefront and continue to support orphans with a portion of the proceeds of all One Love Coffees going to an orphanage in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. So it’s that simple. Just take a look at the potential this single fundraiser could have for a single adoptive family. While our family’s adoption took less than a year, the typical adoption process is at least a two year process. So if a family gets started early they have the potential to knock out a large chunk of their adoption expense by simply getting the word out about their One Love Coffee fundraiser.
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. One Love Coffee Roasters was born! Roasting Fair Trade Specialty coffees, One Love uses the proceeds to help an Ethiopian orphanage and families adopting not just from Ethiopia, but from anywhere in the world.
