Diverse Food Stops
Social Impact Partner - Bird & Branch
At their coffee shop, they have created a job-training program for people with barriers to employment. They teach trainees barista skills as well as soft skills required to obtain and retain employment, as well as helping connect individuals with opportunities to grow in the industry.
They’ve now begun to roast their own beans as a way to connect Honduran producers with new roasters after losing their contracts due to the pandemic. Our green coffee-buying goal is to purchase coffee from producers over a long-term, hoping to establish a relationship and provide more stability, allowing them to invest more in their farms, their produce, and their own families and towns.
What does Social Impact mean to us?
We believe exploring like a local means connecting with the people and causes shaping our communities. That’s why we partner with inspiring, grassroots organizations and highlight their work along the way. Just as we carefully choose the food and spots you’ll experience, we also choose partners who are making a real difference. By joining our tours, you’re not just seeing the city—you’re helping it thrive.
