Supporting the Communities We Serve

Our Give Back Program was created during the pandemic as a way to support our local communities. At a time when some of our cafés were closed, we wanted to find a meaningful way to contribute and uplift organizations doing incredible work in our neighborhoods. Since its launch, the program has grown to include quarterly partnerships with new nonprofit organizations and expanded access to our Give Back Blend coffee for our wholesale partners. 

The program does two things. 

First, it provides funding to organizations making a difference in our communities.

Second, it introduces our customers to causes worth supporting, often leading to deeper involvement beyond just buying coffee.

Each partnership reflects our commitment to being more than a place to grab your morning cup. We want our cafés to be spaces where community support happens naturally, where local organizations get visibility, and where customers discover ways to give back. Some organizations that we’ve worked with in the past include Playworks, Almost There Rescue, One Step Beyond, the Girl Scouts of America, and Skate After School.

When you invest in Cartel Roasting Co., you’re supporting a business that gives back to the communities where we operate. Coffee can fuel more than your morning. It can create positive change.
