The Oxfam branch at Brown University has developed a new fundraising project called the Hourglass cafe. It is a coffee bar that sells fairly traded coffee, baked goods, and vegetarian fare. Unpaid student volunteers manage the cafe. All the profits from the cafe benefit Oxfam. The organization received $4,000 from different University departments and raised $1,000 on their own to start the cafe. The University’s Food Service trained the student workers and let the cafe operate under its food service license.
