When you reach for your favorite bag of Saintly Roast, you’re usually looking for a moment of quiet or a spark of energy to start your day. But we’ve always believed that tea and coffee can do more than just wake us up—it can be a vehicle for care.
Because you choose a brand that "cares as much as you do," your daily ritual is currently fueling a movement of healing right here in our local community.
Introducing Our Next Partnership: Second Fire
From June through August, we are honored to dedicate our monthly giving to Second Fire, a healing apostolate based in Newark, Ohio.
The name "Second Fire" comes from a beautiful perspective on life’s journey. If the "first fire" represents the difficult moments that may have left us feeling singed or discouraged, the "second fire" is the one we light afterward. It is the fire of restoration, warmth, and purpose. It is the proof that our stories are not over.
Healing the Hidden Places
Second Fire serves women in our community who are navigating the long-term emotional and spiritual weight of past trauma.
Many of the women they walk alongside have carried their stories in silence for years—sometimes decades. Whether it is a past abortion or other deep-seated wounds, these experiences often lead to a cycle of secret-keeping, guilt, or a sense of isolation. It is a heavy burden to carry alone, and it often stays buried beneath the surface of an otherwise busy life.
Second Fire provides the "safe place" that so many have been looking for. They offer:
-
A Supportive Sisterhood: A confidential environment where women can finally speak their truth without the fear of being judged.
-
Gentle Guidance: Using an 8-week Bible study framework, they help women move through the process of reconciliation and peace.
-
A Path to Freedom: By addressing the shame and guilt that often follow post-abortive experiences, they empower women to reclaim their identity and their joy.
Your Purchase, Their Progress
When we say that $1 from every bag is donated to our partners, we want you to see the faces behind that dollar. You aren't just buying tea or coffee; you are helping to fund a seat at the table for a woman who is ready to heal. You are helping to provide the resources, the space, and the community that allows a neighbor to step out of the shadows and into the light of a "second fire."
We believe that no one should have to suffer in silence. Through this partnership, we are working together to ensure that care is always within reach.
Next time you brew a cup, take a moment to savor not just the flavor, but the knowledge that you are part of something bigger. Thank you for helping us support Second Fire and for proving that a simple choice can create a ripple of restoration.
