The utter devastation of Port-au-Prince by the earthquake on January 12, 2010 has left the people and the infrastructure of Haiti in ruin. We are contributing to the relief efforts in Haiti through our work with a number of individuals and organizations. We have decided to undertake our own project at Barrington Coffee by working with our customers to generate further funds to contribute to the relief effort.
We have created aheavy bodied, medium roast blend utilizing coffee from our Haitian Highlands Coffee Project©. All proceeds from the sale of this coffee will go directly to the Partners In Health Earthquake Relief program in Haiti. Partners In Health is the oldest and largest health care facility in Haiti. We have chosen to work with them because we want to make sure that these funds get to the Haitian people as quickly and directly as possible. Partners in Health has been highly recommended by a number of our contacts on the island.
Each week we will total these purchases and make a donation directly to Partners in Health Earthquake Relief.
