Pura Vida Partners neither funds nor supports religious activities or proselytizing of any kind. The charitable programs it funds are dedicated to empowering the poor by promoting physical health, educational opportunity, and economic development in coffee-growing countries. The website text quoted above, in its proper context, does not refer to organizations funded by Pura Vida Partners. Instead, it refers to Pura Vida Coffee’s fundraising program in which organizations buy coffee at a discounted wholesale price to resell to their constituents, thus raising funds for their organizations. Aside from the sale of coffee, no financial transaction is made between Pura Vida and the organization, churches included. </p> http://seattlest.com/2006/06/27/grocery_shopping_at_amazoncom.php#comment-269030 http://seattlest.com/2006/06/27/grocery_shopping_at_amazoncom.php#comment-269030 Comments Mon, 10 Jul 2006 12:31:28 -0800 <p>The for-profit Pura Vida Coffee funds a non-profit called Pura Vida Partners which helps fund, as the website says, "a host of local churches," among other agencies and institutions.</p> http://seattlest.com/2006/06/27/grocery_shopping_at_amazoncom.php#comment-268957 http://seattlest.com/2006/06/27/grocery_shopping_at_amazoncom.php#comment-268957 Comments Mon, 10 Jul 2006 10:51:55 -0800 <p>Pura Vida is NOT a Faith Based organization</p> http://seattlest.com/2006/06/27/grocery_shopping_at_amazoncom.php#comment-268935 http://seattlest.com/2006/06/27/grocery_shopping_at_amazoncom.php#comment-268935 Comments Mon, 10 Jul 2006 10:35:52 -0800 <p>Pura Vida is NOT a faith based organization...</p> http://seattlest.com/2006/06/27/grocery_shopping_at_amazoncom.php#comment-268931 http://seattlest.com/2006/06/27/grocery_shopping_at_amazoncom.php#comment-268931 Comments Mon, 10 Jul 2006 10:30:44 -0800 <p>Did yo ever receive your coffee?

They're right across the street from the Mermaid HQ in SoDo. (Which ought to be SoNoDo now, right?) They're faith-based in their do-goodery, btw.</p> http://seattlest.com/2006/06/27/grocery_shopping_at_amazoncom.php#comment-164583 http://seattlest.com/2006/06/27/grocery_shopping_at_amazoncom.php#comment-164583 Comments Tue, 27 Jun 2006 10:51:25 -0800 <p>I don't know, it just seemed more realistic, I guess. Shipping has costs, whether you pay for it or not. </p> http://seattlest.com/2006/06/27/grocery_shopping_at_amazoncom.php#comment-164582 http://seattlest.com/2006/06/27/grocery_shopping_at_amazoncom.php#comment-164582 Comments Tue, 27 Jun 2006 10:24:36 -0800 <p>Why on earth would you pay nearly $7 for shipping when you qualify for free Super Saver Shipping on orders over $25?</p> http://seattlest.com/2006/06/27/grocery_shopping_at_amazoncom.php#comment-164579 http://seattlest.com/2006/06/27/grocery_shopping_at_amazoncom.php#comment-164579 Comments Tue, 27 Jun 2006 09:40:37 -0800 <p>Argh!
