Mission Grounds Gourmet Coffee is a non profit organization, a 501 C Corporation,
dedicated to helping children. Our main focus is to help orphans and children in
need; impoverished children in third world countries and homeless children in inner
city neighborhoods in the United States.

Mission Grounds is currently helping children in the US, China, Russia, Costa Rica,
South Africa, Kenya and Venezuela. We provide support in many ways; from food to
shelter and clothing. We also provide monthly support in Africa, Russia, Costa Rica,
China and Venezuela.

We are currently engaged in two large construction projects which include building a
school in China and an orphanage in Venezuela. Both projects should be completed by
Spring 2008. Plans are also under way to build another school in China and another
orphanage in Venezuela for 2008. We are also looking at construction projects in
Nigeria and in Sudan.

In Atlanta, Mission Grounds is working with a homeless shelter for children, Jars of
Clay Outreach. We have contributed new appliances for the shelter's kitchen,
provided craft materials for after school fun and supplied book bags which included
school supplies and children's books.

Through our monthly newsletter, we have found 2 groups of adults who are donating
their time. They read to the children, help them with their homework and provide
them with the attention they need. We are also working with children's groups in
Buffalo and in New Orleans providing books, book bags and other school supplies.

Mission Grounds receives its money to operate from donations and from the sale of
coffee. We hope to expand our mission of helping children in other cities such as
Pittsburgh and Charlotte.
Mission Grounds Helps Children

Mission Grounds Gourmet Coffee is the finest Tarrazu gourmet coffee coming out of
Costa Rica. Tarrazu is considered the best Costa Rican coffee and comes in five
grades of quality. The best grade of coffee grows on top of the mountain; at the
slowest growth rate - ensuring a rich flavorful taste without any of the normal
bitterness or aftertaste you normally associate with fine coffees.



We only sell the highest level of coffee; unfortunately there is not enough of it
grown on the mountain peak to meet the needs of the large retail chains; who must
buy the level 2 or level 3 coffees to get enough quantity. Mission Grounds is one of
the only places to buy this highest level of the Best Costa Rican Tarrazu coffee.



Mission Grounds is currently located in 25 Kroger Grocery stores in Atlanta,
Cumming, Buckhead, Sandy Springs,Roswell, Alpharetta, Norcross, Dunwoody and Duluth,
Georgia. We are also expanding soon into the Acworth and Woodstock locations.
Mission Grounds Gourmet Coffee can also be ordered on line at www.missiongrounds.com
