A note from Bryan Nurnberger, President and Founder of Simply Smiles:
Simply Smiles was founded in 2003 when we began work on our inaugural project, The Casa Hogar Benito Juarez Children’s Home in Oaxaca City, Mexico. Based out of a donated office space in southern Connecticut, and relying heavily on an extremely dedicated network of donors and volunteers, Simply Smiles has become a highly respected, and rapidly growing organization. With your help, we will be able to continue our work and fulfill our mission in the mountains of southern Mexico, and around the world. We invite you to look around our site, and if so moved, to make a contribution that will allow us to continue providing “bright futures for impoverished children.” With my deepest thanks,
|

Simply Smiles Inc. is a 501c3 not-for-profit organization dedicated to providing bright futures for impoverished children. |

How YOU can help!
Simply Smiles Coffee is available following worship services each Sunday.
Contact Lori for information on Simply Smiles and purchasing coffee. |

The globalization of the coffee market has all but destroyed coffee farming as a sustainable way of life for families living in the mountains of southern Oaxaca, Mexico. Through your purchase of Simply Smiles Coffee, a Mexican blend, you are helping to both feed the impoverished people of this region and to make coffee farming a viable way of life again. Enjoy this special coffee knowing that doing so is simply changing lives… Now that’s one strong cup of coffee.
Simply Smiles Coffee is available in 10 oz. packages of Regular (ground or whole bean) and Decaffeinated. |
