Joe's Brother Coffee fights ALS, Homelessness and Hunger

We don't believe in profit for the sake of profit alone. We are taking a stand to do real, and sustainable good with our profits by supporting charities that are close to our heart and have a measurable positive impact in our communities.

Here at Joe's Brother Coffee, we have two main goals.
No.1 Provide you with truly fresh roasted, premium coffees.
No.2 Raise funds and awareness for our causes.

Joe's Brother Coffee is proud to support the causes we believe in by donating a portion of every sale to our causes. We also believe in transparency and we think you should know where the money goes. Continue reading below to learn more about who we support and why. As we continue to build our website and our business, we will add more detailed information here about the organizations we contribute to. We also encourage you to support them by visiting their websites to make direct donations.

Wellhouse Grand Rapids

The Housing First Model. The solution to homelessness is housing.
​
​Wellhouse provides safe, affordable housing to the homeless. They recognize that each individual has their own unique needs and challenges, and that a “one size fits all” approach is often a barrier to housing.
​
Homeless are provided immediate access to a place of their own without requiring treatment or sobriety as a precondition for housing. Residents are supported with treatment options for their recovery and integration into the community.

​Wellhouse includes people at whatever point they are in their lives, focusing on their strengths and abilities to improve their circumstances. Residents can stay one month or many years depending on their individual situation and needs.
