About Us
The Refuge Coffee Roaster is a social enterprise of Catholic Charities Community Services. ALL of our profits go to the program of CCCS known as MANA House. Formerly known as Madison Street Veterans Association, the MANA (Marines, Army, Navy, Airforce) House is a peer-support organization of homeless and formerly homeless veterans. We help support veterans rebuilding their lives by providing support from our staff and partners.
Vision
Alone, the challenge of homelessness is daunting. Together, no one is alone and we can overcome any obstacle. Together we can bring an end to veteran homelessness.
Mission
MANA House is a peer-run organization of homeless and formerly homeless veterans offering personal, individualized basic resources, community and advocacy for all veterans.
Veterans Support | About MANA House
Our private-label coffee called Refuge Coffee is a single-origin, ethically sourced 100% Arabica beans that are locally roasted, packaged and distributed locally in Phoenix Arizona. Our coffee roaster is inside CCCS's transitional living facility for veterans - MANA House. With our Mission of creating funds to better the lives of our Veterans. As we grow, we will start to employ Veterans that need employment within the Roasting Facility.
The first batch was roasted, packaged and distributed locally in Fall 2012 and sold to friends and family members. Today, the brand has grown to open it's own roaster with a Cafe inside Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport.
We hope coffee lovers will enjoy this great brew and their opportunity to support the local community. Help us build a better Arizona, one cup at a time!
