The Scouts of Venture Crew 888 are selling bags of Arabica Coffee and Double-chocolate Cocoa to support inner city youth here in the Twin Cities. You will be able to smell the rich aroma as you pass through the foyer. Every pound of coffee beans or chocolate cocoa you buy supports children and families in the Central & Phillips Neighborhoods -- two of Minneapolis' poorest neighborhoods. It's a good cause and it's good coffee! (Craig Sanderson, C888)

Venture Crew 888's Ambitious Program

"Crew 888 has embarked on an ambitious program that entails supporting the community on the local and global level as well as raising funds for future high adventure programs. Upon completion of the pilot program this opportunity will become available to all Venture Crews in Minnesota at a minimum -- with future expansion goals for other States. The concept is simple enough: Sell excellent coffee, with a low carbon footprint, to support inner city youth here in here in Minnesota as well as coffee

farmers and their families in Nicaragua. Crew 888 has teamed up with City Kid Java on this worthwhile and rewarding project.

The following clip highlights David Gholar -- a Minneapolis inner city youth who is not only the recipient of local community support but is also a proud proponent of the merits of City Kid Java and their community based programs.
