Our Story
Urban Fountain Coffee Co. sprang from the humble beginnings of two individuals, Thomas and Courtney, who each had a unique and profound journey with addiction and homelessness. Their shared experiences paved the way for a business model that is not just about producing exceptional coffee but also about making a significant difference in the world.
The journey began with Thomas, who had once faced the harsh realities of homelessness and addiction. Life threw him challenging curveballs, but he never let adversity tarnish his spirit. He used these experiences as stepping stones, transforming them into strengths that could inspire others and ignite change. Courtney, too, battled addiction. She used her experiences to develop a deep understanding of the struggle others were going through, fueling her desire to create an impact on their lives.
Today, Thomas and Courtney find purpose in serving at the Los Angeles Dream Center, an extraordinary non-profit organization based in Los Angeles. The Dream Center's work, combating addiction and homelessness and the love of God, resonated deeply with both of them. Their experiences on the frontlines of this work inspired a dream. A dream to intertwine their love for coffee and their passion for creating change, thus birthing the idea of Urban Fountain Coffee Co.
Urban Fountain Coffee Co. is more than a business for us - it's a reflection of our personal journeys, our resilience, and our shared dream. We yearned to bring forth a business that was not only founded on the principles of quality, convenience, and sustainability but also deeply rooted in social responsibility. We imagined a company where every cup of coffee served as a catalyst for change and each purchase contributed towards the betterment of society.
As we embarked on our quest for the world's finest coffee beans, we pledged to only partner with suppliers who believed in fair compensation and sustainable farming practices. But our commitment didn't stop there. We decided to dedicate a portion of our proceeds to organizations that echo our mission, like the Dream Center and other non-profits working tirelessly to combat addiction and homelessness.
Our story is an ever-evolving testament to the transformative power of resilience, love, and, of course, coffee. It's a tale of two individuals' journeys from battling personal adversity to serving others facing similar battles. It's about the power of community, the art of giving back, and the magic of business as an avenue for meaningful change. Our dream is to create more than just extraordinary coffee experiences. It's about using every cup as an opportunity to ignite change, fuel progress, and spread love.
Today, as you take a sip of your Urban Fountain Coffee, you're not just enjoying an exceptional blend of the finest beans. You're also contributing to a vision much larger - a vision of a world where addiction and homelessness are battles we no longer have to fight. Each cup symbolizes a commitment to ethical sourcing, sustainability, quality, convenience, and, most importantly, a brighter future for those struggling with addiction and homelessness. It's an urban coffee adventure that fuels positive change and, together, we're on this journey.
