The North Stands is a collaborative nonprofit created in March 2020 to deliver stipends to service industry workers who have lost wages due to COVID-19. All images courtesy of the Minnesota Roasted consortium.
Nine coffee roasting companies from throughout the Land of 10,000 Lakes have formed Minnesota Roasted, a collaborative fundraising effort to support the regional service industry.
Each of the nine companies is applying its own approach to a single green Colombian specialty coffee and then donating 100% of proceeds from that roast to The North Stands, a nonprofit that was created last March to deliver stipends for hospitality workers who have lost wages due to the COVID-19-pandemic.
