Press Release: Rising For People Coffee Company Crowdfunding Campaign

Rising For People Coffee Company is thrilled to announce the launch of a crowdfunding campaign to help us open our new location at 121 Vesta Street, Reno, Nevada. Our goal is to raise $50,000 to create a vibrant, welcoming space where our community can enjoy high-quality, ethically sourced coffee. As Nevada’s first female-owned coffee importer, we are committed to supporting gender equality and economic empowerment for coffee farmers globally while bringing specialty coffee to our local community and the first-ever roast on demand.

🎉 We're excited to announce that we have officially received the keys and have begun moving into our new location! This month, we were honored to receive a "Love Your Block" grant from the City of Reno, which will help us create a stunning mural that captures the essence of our cafe. Be sure to drive by and watch as the renowned Reno artist Bryce C brings our vision to life. We can't wait to share this journey with you all!
