Giving Back
Giving back is not above and beyond, it is how it is supposed to work.
Not all that long ago, businesses thrived in a community not because they had some trendy new product but rather because the community needed them to help the community attain the lifestyle they wanted to live. They served a community need and made life better for themselves, for their customers, and really, for everyone. Take the local sawmill as an example. Everyone needed lumber to build homes, barns, businesses and even outhouses. Everyone could have cut their own lumber, (and some did), but it just made more sense for there to be lumber 'experts' who could do it faster and specialize in making a variety of lumber products available that many folks could not do on their own. It was not about eye-poping margins, investor relations or making millions. It was about seeing a need and filling that need. When something for the community needed to be done, the business knew they had a responsibility to help make sure that it was taken care of.
Now we understand that coffee is not a necessity like the lumber was for an early community, but we do believe in the concept that a business has a responsibility to the community is the same no matter the product that they sell. It is, from our perspective, just how business is supposed to work. So we take pride in the fact that the Local Mountain Enterprise Group makes a concerted effort to make a portion of every dollar spent at our establishment become an investment back to the community.
Below you will see a list of some of the groups we have supported.

Faith Christian School joins Community Card Program
Faith Christian School and Local Mountain has teamed up to make specially designed Community Card available at Local Mountain cafés. These cards can be purchased and used just like a regular gift card, but with an added benefit: 10% of all purchases made using the card will be donated back to the school. That is right, you do not have to do anything different. Just enjoy your favorite Latte, a great Gelato, Biscotti or even a pound of coffee to take home and you will be providing support for the school.

Brew a cup - Build a House with Local Mountain Coffee Habitat Haitian Blue
Lafayette IN, February 19, 2008. Local Mountain Coffee announced today the introduction of Habitat Haitian Blue Coffee. This variety was put together in cooperation with Habitat for Humanity of Lafayette as a way to blend a great tasting coffee with the construction of housing for people in both Lafayette and Haiti.
Local Mountain co-founder Ric Brown was eager to find a way to help. "Honestly, this is special for me. Before I moved from the area a number of years ago I worked with Habitat here in Lafayette. I have seen the huge impact this organization has had and the difference home ownership makes in a family's life."
"We are excited about the opportunity to introduce more people to the work we are doing here locally and in Haiti. We decided that offering the opportunity to highlight a product of Haiti through a local company was a perfect way to illustrate how we cooperatively work both locally and abroad to bring homeownership opportunities to people" stated Doug Taylor of Habitat of Lafayette. "The folks at Local Mountain understand our mission and have been great to work with in putting this together for us". read more »
