Why Does Karma Coffee Support The Salvation Army?

Many of you have been asking Karma Coffee about our fondness and support of The Salvation Army. So this, our second blog, will deal with that.

First of all, we believe that The Salvation Army does such good work and they have done so for over 150 years. It was founded by William Booth who embarked upon his ministerial career in 1852, desiring to win the lost multitudes of England to Christ. He walked the streets of London to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ to the poor, the homeless, the hungry, and the destitute.

Since those early beginnings, The Salvation Army has evolved and expanded to include shelters and food banks all over the world. They house the homeless and feed the hungry who can't afford to do so themselves. But it doesn't end there, they have youth programs, seniors programs, disaster relief programs, etc. The list just goes on and on with the wonderful work they do.

What impresses us most about this world-wide organization is that when you or Karma Coffee make a financial contribution, the majority of it goes where we hope it will: TO HELP THOSE IN NEED! The majority doesn't go to pay salaries and overheads as it does with so many other 'charitable organizations'. But don't take our word for it, check it out for yourself.

So, we make donations to The Salvation Army in many different ways:
1) We donate a portion of our profits from every bag of Karma Coffee we sell.
2) When we do public and community events where we serve our Karma Coffee, we raise money for The Salvation Army, rather than selling Karma Coffee for our own profit.
3) We regularly donate our coffee to our local Salvation Army Food Bank and Soup Kitchen.
4) Every time someone goes to our Karma Coffee (And Karma Coffee House) Facebook page and Likes us, we increase our financial donation.

If you are like us and share our concern for the homeless, the hungry and those in need, we invite you to LIKE us when you visit our Facebook page. We'll do the rest.

So that's it for this time.

All the best,

Hi and Welcome to the Karma Coffee Blog

This is our first attempt at blogging so please bear with us. You would assume that since our company name "Karma Coffee' has as an integral part the word 'karma', a good topic for our initial blog would be our point of view on the Universal laws of karma.

From here forward, I'll speak in the first person and not the Royal 'we', okay? So here I go and I'll be brief this time.

First of all, karma, in my opinion, is neither good or bad - it just is. To add a prefix to the word karma is to pass judgement on it and when we do that, it's easy to just miss the point entirely.

I believe, as many of you do that what goes around, comes around. More than that, is my belief that what you put out there - wherever 'out there' is for you - will and does have an effect on something and therefore affects everything. Are you with me so far?

Simply put, none of us live or operate in a vacuum. Those of us who behave as if we do need to take the blinders off and see the big picture. The huge picture! There is nothing that any of us do - even breathing - that doesn't impact on something else.

That is karma!

Having said all that, I'm going out for a walk in the sunshine. While walking, I'm going to smile at every person I see with the hope that my smile will be contagious and affect everything!

And that's it for today,

Jak Axe
