Switchpoint Coffee
Coffee roastery and café whose proceeds fund housing and food for people overcoming homelessness, run by the Switchpoint nonprofit.
The roastery occupies the former warehouse for the Switchpoint thrift stores, and it is a business with a purpose attached: proceeds go to funding housing, food and care for people working out of homelessness and poverty. It sits within a wider operation that also runs thrift stores, a food pantry and a shelter providing temporary housing for adults and children.
The wider picture
Charity-owned trading businesses are a different model from charity fundraising: the café has to survive commercially on its coffee, and the surplus rather than donations is what funds the work. Pairing it with thrift stores, a pantry and a shelter means the organization controls a whole chain from emergency housing through to paid work — which is why the roastery sitting in the old thrift-store warehouse is not incidental.
