Storyville Is Giving It Away in May

We usually tend to be rather locavorian but there's a coffee company over in Seattle (surprise, surprise) called Storyville that is giving all of its revenue -- up to $1,000,000 (void where prohibited, this message will self-destruct in 60 seconds) -- during this month to International Justice Mission in an effort to "stop slavery, human trafficking, and other forms of violent oppression." Details about Storyville's Give It Away in May initiative are available on its website.

Storyville doesn't offer a buncha fancy flavors. "Storyville has one flavor -- fresh." It offers one coffee and it ships that coffee to you the day it is roasted. There are, however, two version: Epilogue (original); and Prologue (decaffeinated). Half-pound bags are a little under $15.

It's great to see more and more companies finding creative ways to help others.
