So, I found one of the coolest things. Origins Coffee and Tea! Basically, it is a coffee shop that is run completely by volunteers. They have about 90 different volunteers that work about 4 hours a week and because of this it works. ALL of the proceeds then go towards the fight against human trafficking. The money goes to the International Justice Mission or IJM. IJM plays a huge part in fighting this because they raid brothels, and rescue different girls and boys and then they provide a place for them to recover from some of the physical, emotional and physiological hurt that they have suffered.
Here is a video to see what it is all about!
This coffee shop is one of the greatest things I have heard about in awhile. It is located in Rocklin CA and opened only a few months ago. If you aren't from around there to make it your regular coffee spot, you can order coffee beans from them online as well. They use fair trade coffee and are doing something to actually fight some of the awful that is being caused around the world.
Here is the website!
I encourage you to take a look. See how YOU can get involved.
