Rochester's Community Wishbook

The Coffee Connection/Project Empower (under Life Listening Resources) sells fair-trade, organically grown, sustainability farmed coffee which we roast at our South Avenue site. We offer employment training and sober support for people in recovery from addiction. In addition to the Coffee Connection on South Avenue, we also have a location at the Marketplace Mall Food Court (585-978-8960), 1 Miracle Mile Drive, Rochester 14623. We create jobs, and participate in neighborhood renewal and social entrepreneurship.
