GMCR created the Community Action For Employees program (CAFE) that authorizes employees to take paid time off to volunteer in their community wherever an employee sees a need. In 2008 GMCR employees will spend about 2,000 hours volunteering at schools, fire departments, and other community organizations. Some of them also volunteer in in projects in Mexico and Central America to improve the health care and housing of coffee farmers and their families. Isn't this a great opportunity for employees to get involved with community services around the world?
Supporting Fair Trade Coffee is another part of GMCR's core values. Fair Trade ensures farmers a fair price. This enables them to support their famalies, keep their kids in school and invest in the quality of their coffee.
GMCR also donates money to different communities worldwide in emergency situations. Hurricane Stan and Tsunami Relief Efforts are just two examples.
