Community Connections
Donations
We primarily donate coffee to organizations that support or are integrally involved in the local food movement, environmental and sustainability organizations as well as our local school system. This allows us to focus our donations on causes that are closely allied with our business goals and company philosophy.
Sponsorships
At Portland Roasting, we work hard on our global efforts to effect change, yet we live and work here in Portland and strive to support our local community as well. That means donating coffee or our coffee expertise where and when we can. Below is a partial list of organizations, events and schools we partner with on a variety of levels.
