Coffee wows Louisiana with its gift of
giving.Community Coffee Company, including
its CC’s Community Coffee Houses,
hasbeen bringing warm smiles and hot
cups of its famousroasts of coffee to Louisiana
residents since 1919. Henry Norman“Cap” Saurage began the legacy of Community
Coffee whenhe started selling
coffee out of his country store. Decadeslater, his company makes a big difference
in southern Louisiana,with the morale of
its employees at the core.
Thiscompany proudly touts a culture
that thrives on serving thecommunity. The strategy of
its charitable contributions
is to giveback in the places
where its employees live and
work.What started simply as
generous handouts to neighbors,
friends andemployees
has flourished into generations of helping
hands. Henry “Cap” Saurage Jr. helped
build the lunchroom at Bernard Terracein 1944 at a time when there really was noformal process for giving.
“We realized we could havea greater
impact on the communities we love if wefocused our resources in one field of interest,
and thereseemed to be no greater need
or more important causethan education,”
says CEO Matt Saurage, representing the
fourth generationof family members at
the helm.
