This Thursday, April 3rd and Friday, April 4th one of Kelowna’s biggest fundraisers will get underway. And Cherry Hill Coffee will be doing their part.
Cherry Hill Coffee will be partnering up with The Perking Lot coffee shop at Kelowna General Hospital, and will donate free coffee (and some volunteers - thanks Jeff and Amber!) for the Have a Heart Radiothon. “One hundred percent of the money raised in today and tomorrow will stay in our community to help babies and kids,” explains Cherry Hill Coffee sales director Amber Coueffin.
Last year the hospital raised $175,000 for Kelowna General Hospital’s Level 2 neo-natal unit. Donate today and help KGH get some much needed equipment. To donate, call 762-HITS (4487) or drop by Orchard Park Shopping Centre. Volunteers are collecting cash donations out front of KGH or just inside the doors of Walmart. You can also take part in the on-line auction or you can donate here.
The Perking Lot is a non-profit coffee shop staffed entirely by volunteers. Did you know that The Perking Lot contributes approximately almost $200,000.00 to KGH annually! Cherry Hill Coffee has worked closely with The Perking Lot and the Kelowna General Hospital Auxiliary for many years and always look forward to helping out when we can. Stay tuned for this summer’s Strawberry Social to celebrate the Hospital’s 100 year anniversary.

Cherry Hill Coffee was on its best behaviour (whatever that means) when Sandy Dawson and the CHBC TV crew dropped by the roastery to film a segment for Okanagan Now. It was a chance for owner Dave Biglow to educate the masses about Fair Trade Coffee and how we do things here at Cherry Hill Coffee. Check out the clip here, it runs about 10 min. Requires Quicktime.

Cherry Hill Coffee will be rolling out a full compliment of fair trade organic (FTO) blends and varietals for our wholesale customers along with a new one pound retail line-up. Drop by our Kelowna roastery for the full selection or pick up a pound of our shiny red bags at your favourite organic grocer or neighbourhood cafe!
As environmental and social awareness increases and talk of sustainability fuels coffee shop discussions in the Okanagan and across Canada, one thing is certain; fair trade organic products are more than a fad. They are more than an alternative – they’re the new norm.
Our fair trade organic program helps enable sustainable development and empowerment of disadvantaged producers and workers in developing countries. Paying farmers and workers a fair price for their crop leads to a higher standard of living and more sustainable farming practices. Implementing better irrigation practices and protecting local habitats and ecosystems are good examples. These measures guarantee the quality of the coffee and long-term viability of the farms, while reducing their environmental footprint. Quite simply, it’s coffee with a conscience.Go green. Fill up with fair trade organic coffee.

Cherry Hill Coffee is pleased to announce the donation of twenty cases of hot chocolate (and marshmallows!) to the Kelowna Women’s Shelter. Over 6,000 single serve packages will be given to the hundreds of women and children who use the emergency shelter.
The latest cold snap had employees at Cherry Hill Coffee wondering what they could do to warm up the spirits of those less fortunate in the community. Hopefully this donation brings a little comfort to those in need of help and puts a smile on the face of the children caught in a difficult situation.
When asked how the idea presented itself, Jeff Biglow commented, “We had a manager’s meeting last week and it was 7am and -18˚, and naturally the weather was the main topic of discussion. All of a sudden we started thinking maybe there was something we could do for people who were going through tough times – now just seemed like the perfect opportunity. The Kelowna Women’s Shelter sounded like an excellent choice for the donation of hot cocoa.”
“You always try to give back (to the community) when you can.” he added.
The Kelowna Women’s Shelter can always use and support. You can help out by donating any gently used clothing and household items to the Kelowna Women’s Shelter Thrift Store at 527 Lawrence Avenue or to become a volunteer call (250) 763-1040.

Cherry Hill Coffee has always had a reputation and passion for promoting and supporting organic coffee. We’re proud to announce that we are now officially Fair Trade Certified and British Columbia Certified Organic. We were the first to introduce the Okanagan to organic coffee, and now we’re taking it one step further – making fair trade organic coffee our focus. We are just putting the finishing touches on our certified fair trade organic line-up. We will be releasing a select handful to retail customers to begin with, including these two: Escala, a Mexican Light Roast and a Peruvian Dark Roast called Jivaro Dusk.
