From zero shelves to cities across the Midwest, Georgette’s coffee is quickly becoming one of the fastest-growing gateways to Sunshine's mission—creating community, belonging, and opportunity for people with developmental disabilities.
Georgette’s wholesale coffee line has emerged as a powerful way for people across the region to engage with Sunshine—whether or not they personally know someone we support.
What began with a single sale in August 2023 has grown into a business movement rooted in purpose. In just over a year, we’ve rebranded, expanded our product line, strengthened roasting operations, and partnered with a distributor to meet accelerating demand. Today, you’ll find our coffee on shelves across Kentucky, Indiana, Dayton, Cincinnati, and Cleveland, connecting thousands of new people to our mission of creating community.
For many, that connection starts with a simple cup of coffee. Georgette’s Business Development Representative Kasey Moon shared that years ago she and her mom met at Georgette’s because it was a convenient spot between Perrysburg and Maumee. They came for a good cup of coffee but found so much more.
“The staff knew my name and my order. It felt like home,” she shared.
At the time, Kasey was working in product sales when she spotted an opening at Georgette’s and instantly saw the fit: “What an incredible opportunity to combine my love for this coffee with my skill set in selling wholesale goods.” She applied immediately—and never looked back.
Every bag fuels jobs and skill-building through life-changing programs at Sunshine. And when business strategy aligns with social purpose, every new shelf expands opportunity and invites more people into the mission.
Looking Ahead: E-commerce is coming in the new year: Whether you’re a Sunshine supporter or just a lover of quality coffee, you’ll soon be able to experience the mission from wherever you call home.
