We are a non-profit cafe that raises awareness and money to rescue victims of and end human trafficking by serving quality coffees and teas.

The Freedom Café of Durham is a non-profit café that seeks to create a space where we can educate people about human trafficking and help eradicate this worldwide injustice by donating all our proceeds to non-profit organizations working with this issue. Through our passion for great tea and coffee and conversation, we hope to capture the essence of coffee houses in the past where intellectual and world-changing conversations were had.

The model is fairly simple. Each cup of coffee or tea or shot of espresso is given for free. We suggest donations based on fair market value. 50 cents from each donation will go towards purchasing conscientiously traded and produced coffee and teas, as well as cream, sugar, etc. Every cent over that amount will go towards an organization that is working to fight human trafficking world-wide through diverse strategies, such as raising awareness, policy making, and assisting former slaves. Right now, we’re spotlighting Stop the Traffik (http://www.stopthetraffik.org/) . If you know of good non-profits working with this issue, please let us know about it!

Our model is only made possible through the donated time of our Volunteers—Freedom Workers—and the donated space of the Light House Student Ministries building.
