Love Coffee is passionate about creating a Path to Purpose for persons with varying abilities to enjoy meaningful work and contribute to the great community we call Columbia. Love Coffee is embarked on a journey to build cafe outlets, integrated into high traffic businesses, where those entering the workforce can develop social capital (friends), build confidence, and enjoy the community and excitement of a thriving work environment. 

We are also passionate about building a brand that envisions and empowers this goal: Love Coffee!  Thanks to YOU Columbia, Love Coffee was voted "Best Coffee Shop in Columbia" this year according to Inside Columbia Magazine.

 

Love Coffee has become a beloved fixture in Columbia because people with disabilities bring a great attitude and a whole heart to their work.  It is a perfect place for Employees to develop social skills, expand their networks, gain confidence and overcome challenges often faced seeking mainstream jobs.

 

Cafe proceeds cover about half of Love Coffee's training costs making the training program far less expensive than state funded options. 

 

To date Love Coffee remains viable through the support of anchor benefactors, Veteran's United Foundation, Columbia Orthopedic Group, Permanent Equity and founder Chuck Crews. Local foundations A.P. Green, Boone County Community Trust, Heinkel Foundation, Stafford Foundation, Boone Electric Community Trust, Tigers on the Prowl, and COMO Gives, have all provided equipment to support Love Coffee's mission.

​

Love Coffee's work can only continue with support from the community we serve. Please consider a monthly gift to help keep Love Coffee's Path to Purpose a reality and a valuable asset to the place we all love, COLUMBIA!
