Welcome to Ground to Cup


Ground to Cup Coffee Company is located in San Antonio, Texas.  We are a company that roasts fairly traded organic and non-organic coffees from various origins and sells it to various places; restaurants, schools, organizations, and families.  We also offer flavored coffees and will soon be carrying non coffee items that we love and want to share with you.  But that's not WHO we are in it's entirety.  In fact, G2C is a company about so much more!
Back when 4 of our team members began to meet and put together a vision for what we felt our company would be, we knew that we could not deny that we not only were a group of friends passionate about great coffee, but our lives had been impacted by some major things that made us more than raving coffee fans, but friends with a purpose.
We wanted our company to be more than providing you a great cup of Joe, we wanted to impact your whole life and the the lives of others.  In essence, we indeed set out to Bring others a Hope and Future through our vehicle we knew well ... selling great coffee!

Our company as a whole is centered around 3 causes that have personally touched the lives of our team:
Adoption and Orphan Care, Breast Cancer and The Homeless and Hungry.  Our personal passions for these things drives us to want to make a difference in organizations and ministries we see that are effecting the lives of other families touched by them.  Through this blog, our goal is to give you a window into just how we set out by doing that.  More than just selling coffee, we as a company want to be hands on deck in effecting those lives and those organizations.  Here, we'll share that story with each of you as we take mission trips and visit orphans, as we walk the road of adoptions, as we spend time at our local food bank and homeless shelter and as we partner with organizations to impact Breast Cancer awareness and research.  This window will be a candid look into our lives and the life of this company.
But it doesn't end there, we are also committed to giving financially to those organizations.  At least 10% of all retail sales profits will go towards them and here, on this blog, we'll show you just where it is going.
 
As we began to create the fabric of our company we also realized that everyone is impacted by something different and has their own story.  It was then that we decided that we would also partner with other organizations and ministries to help them be the hands to the causes they are passionate about.  This is where the "Partnership Program" was birthed.  At Ground to Cup, we partner with other organizations and allow them to sell our coffee to help meet their own financial goals.  We have numerous ways of going about this through Online partnerships, private labeling and more.  Just touch base with us and ask.  We'd love to be your partner and work with you to see how we can be your fundraising partner and how together we can multiply our efforts in bringing others a future.

I hope you will join us and follow our journey here.  Our company is more than a company to us.  It is a place where we get to put our passions into action and together effect lives.  Here, we hope to give you a window into those lives and the story that is being written through our great coffee!

Sit back, relax, and grab your favorite cup of Ground to Cup Joe!  It's more than just coffee, it's HOPE!
