What Fresh Brewed Ministries Inc dba Fresh Brewed Coffee House does
Mission
Our mission is to offer a safe and welcoming place for people in need. We help connect community members with important resources. Our shared public space encourages dignity and inclusion, and we aim to build trust through kindness, hope, and a fresh cup of coffee. We support people directly by providing food, clothing, and toiletries to those facing challenges with housing, food, health, or finances. We also offer help through our State Identification, Suspended Coffee, and Food Is Free-MB programs. As a day and resource center, we connect people with physical and mental health care, recovery resources like detox and rehab, local housing organizations, and job and resume support. Our space is also open for music and art, recovery and advocacy meetings, church and youth groups, clubs, networking, educational training, hiring events, family gatherings, and other community events.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
Food Is Free-MB Program. We run a no-barrier, free food pantry open to everyone. Each Saturday, we collect and share food from three grocery store chains. This food would otherwise be thrown away or sent to a local food bank, but the food bank is closed on weekends. In 2025, we received and distributed 39,611.25 pounds of food just from these Saturday grocery store deliveries. Church and civic groups also bring food for our weekly events, and local community members help keep our shelves stocked with nonperishables year-round. In emergencies, we buy and deliver food to people who cannot get it themselves. Because our pantry has no barriers, it?s difficult to know exactly how many people receive food here. We estimate that about 450 unique individuals benefit from this service.
$0 spent0% of program spendingSuspended Coffee Program Coffee means something different to everyone. For us, it stands for community, kindness, and connection. Many people find comfort and a sense of belonging over a cup of coffee, so we take part in the suspended coffee program. When you buy coffee here, you can choose to pay for an extra cup. Our baristas record these as "suspended" coffees, which anyone in need can claim. This could be someone experiencing homelessness, a student having a tough time, a parent struggling to make ends meet, someone who forgot their wallet, a job seeker, or anyone else who could use a cup. Also, at our shop, if you can?t afford a cup of coffee, you can still get one free each day, even if there aren?t any suspended coffees available. This is our way of spreading kindness and treating everyone with dignity. From July 1, 2023, to June 30, 2024, we gave away 18,044 suspended cups of coffee. If every cup had been paid for by others at $2.50 each, that would have been $45,110 in sales. In reality, community members paid for 1,695 of those cups ($4,237.50), and we covered the remaining $40,872.50 to support our community. As we work to spread kindness, remember: ?Suspended Coffees…

If someone has had a South Carolina (SC) ID before, we work with another group to get a voucher from the SC Department of Motor Vehicles that covers the DMV fee. If someone has never had a SC ID, they will need their certified original birth certificate. People who changed their names after marriage will also need their certified original marriage certificate. We help fill out applications and order the needed documents. We pay for the certificates and partner with other organizations to help cover these expenses. We helped 238 people obtain documentation for their state-issued identification.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
78% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund Fresh Brewed Ministries Inc dba Fresh Brewed Coffee House.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2019 100% · 2020 85% · 2021 100% · 2022 100% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.

Where its funders are
78% of Fresh Brewed Ministries Inc dba Fresh Brewed Coffee House's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $23k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
