Aroma is committed to giving back to our community in meaningful and creative ways that fuel our mission of Cultivating Fullness of Life through each of our focus areas:
- A Place to Gather: To extend the gift of gathering to the broader community, Aroma donates our property to local non profits. By modifying our normal rental fees, these life-giving events can take place on-site at little or no cost to the organization or the community.
- A Craft to Savor: Every month, Aroma funds a Community Care Card with a portion of the previous month’s profit so that our staff can choose moments to extend compassion, generosity, and care to customers who simply need to be seen, valued, and loved. Our team has the great privilege of intersecting with people during very real, human moments and whether it’s giving coffee to an exhausted mother of a newborn, paying the coffee bill of someone with a new medical diagnosis, or celebrating a significant milestone with a free drink, we want to express tangibly that each person really does matter. We also support our Fall City schools through in-kind donations of drip coffee for several staff-appreciation events throughout the year.
- An Invitation to Linger: We want the impact of each purchase to both linger beyond the final sip and to be a blessing to more than just Aroma. Through our Care Card and grants to non profit partners, Aroma donates 10% of our profit back into the community that we are proud to call home. In 2024, our non profit partners included the Fall City Community Association, Trail Youth, Live Gray’s Way, and Love Snoqualmie Valley. Grant partners are selected by the owner team annually based on alignment with our own mission and values, support of our Fall City neighborhood, and impact to the broader Snoqualmie Valley community.
While this model does not allow us to support the many wonderful requests we get for fundraising events, sponsorships, and in-kind donations, it enables us to ensure a greater impact with the resources we do have. We are incredibly grateful for community support that enables all of this!
