Our Blue & White Charity Blend helps a different nonprofit every month.

One of the many ways Nate’s Coffee gives back to the community is through our Blue & White Charity Blend. This process provides exposure of twelve different organizations a year to the Nate’s Coffee community, as well as a fundraising opportunity. A medium-dark blend of Ethiopia and Latin American coffees, Nate’s Blue & White Charity Blend has hints of chocolate-covered berries.

In October, $1 per pound of our Blue & White Charity Blend goes to the Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Bluegrass. The mission of RMHC of the Bluegrass is to create and support programs that directly improve the health and well-being of children and to strengthen families by keeping them together in times of medical need.

We are also thrilled to be part of their McDazzle Gala u0026amp; Auction on November 16th! Music, food, drinks and a chance to bid on a roasting experience with Nate at our new roasting facility! More information here!

One pound (16oz.) bags of Blue & White Blend are available at North Lime Coffee u0026amp; Donuts locations and at natescoffee.com.
