About Well Grounded Coffee
Our Mission
The Dignity Project, DBA Well Grounded Coffee Community blends coffee with philantropy. We run a coffee shop on Garland Rd in Dallas, but our mission is to transform lives through a process of work, education, community and faith.
Well Grounded Coffee Community is the vehicle that creates opportunity for individuals who are barely surviving life and helps them reach a higher level of purpose and social contribution.
The Four Pillars
Our Core Values
Work
Our WGCC employees/partners will train and learn valuable business, barista, and life skills at the Coffee House. These skills will allow people who otherwise might struggle to find employment to thrive in the community at WGCC and beyond.
Education
Community
Faith
We roast our coffee with responsibility and passion. We hand-picked the world's most environmentally efficient roaster by partnering with locally-owned Full City Rooster.
