PVPA Parents is happy to announce the start of our on-going coffee sales fundraiser. PVPA Parents will sell quality organic and fair-trade coffee from local roaster Dean’s Beans on a monthly basis. Not only will you be helping raise funds for PVPA, you will also be helping improve the lives of small coffee farmers around the globe.

Dean’s Beans offers decaf or regular medium and dark roast coffees. You can specify ground or whole bean. In addition, you can purchase hot chocolate mix sourced from an indigenous growers' cooperative in Costa Rica and dark chocolate covered java drops (coffee beans). Prices are comparable to any premium coffee sellers in the area. That means you can buy ALL your coffee for the same price you already pay for it AND help PVPA Parents raise funds. If you own or work for a business that drinks coffee, you can purchase the business’ coffee from PVPA too!

Just use the links below to place your secure online order. On pickup day we’ll make it easy for you or your carpool to pick up your order. If your student travels on one of the PVPA buses, we will have your order ready for them to take with them.

So support PVPA with a good cup of Joe and buy your PVPA Dean’s Beans coffee!
