Lots of great items for homeroasters and more!!!

Throughout the month of May 2009, Homeroasters.org is conducting auctions on a wide variety of items, many of which the specialty coffee industry donated with jubilation. Items up for bid range from assortments of top-quality green coffee, to magazine subscriptions, grinders, brewers, roasters and much, much more; all proceeds going directly to Coffee Kids.

Coffee Kids® Grounds for Hope was born out of the specialty coffee industry by Bill Fishbein in 1988. Coffee Kids® has distributed over $4 million dollars in funds “to help coffee-farming families improve the quality of their lives.” With four distinct areas of focus, Latin American countries have realized improvements in healthcare, education for children, community-based projects and micro-credit loans that have enabled over 4,000 women to own their own businesses and support their families.

If you would like to bid on an item, please register as a member of Homeroasters.org and enjoy the auction.
