Our Story

Hi everyone, I'm Deanna! I'd love to share a bit about myself, my family, and the story behind our coffee business. As a Marine Corps Veteran and a single mom to two amazing kids, Cadence and Maverick, my military background is a huge part of our journey. In fact, both of my children's names were inspired by my time in service, and that's how we came up with "C&M Coffee" for our brand!

But that's only half the story. The other part, "Veteran Strong," comes from a deep place. I grew up in a big family that always championed our veterans. My father and older brothers were all in the military, and they were truly my heroes when I was young. I believe our veterans and service members do so much for our country, shaping us into who we are today, and they absolutely deserve our unwavering support. That strong belief is why our full brand name is C&M Coffee, Veteran Strong.

Throughout the years, I've seen firsthand how many veterans, service members, their families, and even folks in our wider community need support, but often struggle to find it easily. My big dream is to create a program that genuinely makes a difference for those in need. To do that, I want to team up with our neighbors, community partners, and local people.

And here's how you can help! A portion of every single bag of C&M Coffee you buy goes directly towards building and funding this vital program. So, when you enjoy our coffee, you're not just getting a great cup; you're also helping us set aside funds to support deserving individuals in our community. Together, we can really make a difference!
