Greetings!

What's all this talk of Switchpoint opening up a Coffee Roastery? 
 
True story. And it’s happening soon!
 
It all started over a cup of coffee
Our "switchpoint" started when Carol Hollowell met Ray on her way to work one chilly morning. A friendly wheelchair-bound man seeking warmth and a cup of coffee. He gave a clear-eyed account of the challenges so many good people face, one where a lost ID and lack of transportation led to years of living unsheltered. Carol took Ray to get that cup of coffee, a nice hot shower, an ID, and best of all…they found Ray housing. The rest is history and it's still in the making.
More cups of coffee = less homelessness in Utah  
Switchpoint had an idea. Why not create a line of coffee that would generate enough profit to disrupt the cycle of poverty and homelessness? And, like so many of our innovative ideas, it’s happening! 
 
Why sell coffee? 
There are lots of reasons, but mostly, coffee can pay the bills. This rich, dark liquid greases the wheels of many economies across the world. Humans enjoy more than 2 billion cups every day, and it’s one of the most traded commodities. We have every reason to believe our new Switchpoint Coffee Co. can provide the funding we need to reduce poverty and homelessness in our city.

Coffee isn’t just good…it's good business!
Switchpoint Coffee Co. Roastery Grand Opening Coming Soon!

Please give your greenbacks for the brown brew
Of course, with all new enterprises, it takes cash to pull this off. We've got our own modest stash, but your donation will help us roll this out right. You can donate (any amount) super fast right here.
 
Your money will help greatly, and we promise to use it well. We’ve been working tirelessly these past months, ordering and organizing, researching and sampling, compiling lists and budgets, dreaming and creating. It’s been loads of hard work and fun, and your donation will propel us onward. Soon we’ll be serving up love in the form of some darn good coffee. You can credit your own generosity for helping that happen. Donate here. 

  • SWITCH to a coffee that makes a difference
  • SIP and feel the buzz of doing good
  • SUPPORT and end the cycle of poverty
Wishing you a great day as you feel the joy of doing good.
