The Freedom Cafe, Durham

Coffee. Food. Community. A local café raising awareness & creating space for connection. Durham, NH - Open: Sun-Fri
www.thefreedomcafe.org

The Freedom Cafe is an innovative non-profit cafe which directs its proceeds toward the cause of ending human trafficking and the commercial exploitation of all people. We are local leaders in specialty coffee and tea, a growing music venue, and an educational center aimed at helping our local community create a slave-free world. Our location at the edge of the University of New Hampshire campus g

ives us the opportunity to be a hub of student life, as well as a landmark for the local community. The model is fairly simple. Each coffee, tea or espresso drink is served for free. We suggest donations based on fair market value. Because we are run primarily by volunteers and our building space is donated, we are able to cover our basic supply costs (ethically sourced coffee, tea, cocoa, cream, sugar,) for about a dollar per cup. When customers make a fair market donation, or give what they would normally pay at a cafe, every cent OVER that first $1 supports our featured non-profit organization. Our model is only made possible through the donated time of our Volunteers—Freedom Workers—and the donated space of the Light House Student Ministries building. Regular educational and artistic events in our cafe space are a primary tool for creating a more informed and engaged community around this issue. If you are interested in getting more information about the Café and human trafficking, like our page for updates. Please contact us at [email protected] for more info.

Please be aware, anyone receiving an email from an with the request and link to review a proposal. DO NOT Open. It is a scam.

The proposal was not from anyone connected to the freedom cafe. We are so sorry. Email passwords have been changed and we are taking steps to remediate. If you attempted to open the link, please change your password and monitor your account. It looks like the phishing link sent to any previous senders and not to a contact list. Again we are so sorry. If Bryan or other members of our team ever send a proposal, which for many of you could be possible, key points of the proposal will be outlined in the email body with a request to connect more personally to to review the idea.

Again, our deepest apologies,
Bryan

Last week, when one of our refrigerators unexpectedly failed, our community stepped in. Two generous donors made gifts that allowed us to purchase a new prep station—without taking on debt or using valuable and dedicated NH Gives funds.

This new workspace isn’t just a refrigerator. It gives our team the room to stay organized, prepare food more efficiently, and serve you faster during our busiest hours. It’s an investment that will improve every crepe, sandwich, and meal we prepare.

Thank you to everyone who continues to invest in Freedom Cafe. Your generosity helps us create a more welcoming, sustainable gathering place for our entire community.
We can’t wait to serve you.

Happy July!! ❤️🤍💙 - come in and enjoy a NEW handcrafted drink or crepe this month of July only!
