tHE STORY BEHIND THE BEAN...
After forming Day One Foundation we found ourselves in need of funding. Naturally, we didn't want to walk around looking for handouts. In the spirit of being creative, we started the Clean Bean Coffee Co to raise money to support our programs at Day One.

Then began the journey to find the right coffee. We explored many options near and far, and taste tested different roasts shipped to my home. It was a good time, and my taste testing team of connoisseur friends stayed jacked up on coffee for a couple months. When we first tasted, what is now the Clean Bean roasts, we knew immediately that we found the coffee everyone will love. Next came the branding that would help us stand out from the slew of other available coffees. As a Lafayette, Louisiana native, we love Acadiana culture and art. In celebration of our culture, we showcase a local artist on each bag of coffee and 100% of profits go to Day One Foundation. However, this is just a beginning. We realize that other non-profits may struggle with raising money at times. As Clean Bean scales, we will eventually incorporate giving a percentage to other local charities as we introduce new roasts and flavors.
