Nonprofit coffee shop uses 100% of its profits from selling a cup of Joe to help people find employment and a place to live.
Christine Sisneros, who is recently out on parole, works to make a coffee drink for a customer at Change Please Coffee that opened in Aurora on Oct. 29, 2024. The coffee shop will offer extensive training and employment opportunities and providing support with housing, finances, and therapy to help people experiencing homelessness.
Change Please’s profits help provide people with stable employment, permanent housing and career development programs, such as the barista training academy. “What we do, in some instances, is we go to the landlords and we will underwrite the rent ourselves,” Ezel said. “We pay the landlord directly the rent from that person’s pay. So, that means that person isn’t now going to a landlord hoping that they will give them accommodation. We will secure that for them, and then the landlord knows that they’re going to receive the monthly rent.”
After the program, trainees will do “shadow shifts,” where Change Please Coffee will partner with businesses around Denver to give trainees an idea of what a career in hospitality could look like. “We’re continuing on the hunt for more and more partners. So, I would just say, if you’re interested in working with us, reach out. We’d love to work with you,” he said.
