The ‘Give A Cup’ campaign is reaching out to the Guelph community for support. Your purchase of Lantern Brew coffee will raise money for the Guelph Black Heritage Society and help to liberate them from financial constraint.

50% of proceeds from every purchase will be donated to the Guelph Black Heritage Society.
