Nationwide — 42 Days Coffee is redefining what it means to enjoy a great cup of coffee—blending premium organic quality with a mission to support maternal health and fair trade practices. With every sip, customers contribute to a more ethical and equitable coffee industry while improving maternal care in underserved communities.
Co-founded by African-American entrepreneurs Rodney Thompson and Dr. Crysta Meekins, (Doctor of Public Health, Diverse Populations & Health Equity), 42 Days Coffee was created to address two critical global issues: the exploitation of coffee farmers and the maternal health crisis. The company ensures that every cup of coffee not only delivers exceptional quality but also contributes to a more just and equitable world.
Ethically Sourced, Premium Organic Coffee
Recognizing the economic hardships faced by coffee farmers, 42 Days Coffee prioritizes fair
trade and sustainability at every step. The company partners directly with growers via Fair Trade programs in regions known for their exceptional organic coffee beans, guaranteeing fair wages and ethical labor practices. Unlike mass-produced commodity coffee, 42 Days Coffee exclusively uses hand-picked, ripe cherries, resulting in a richer and more flavorful brew.
A Mission to Improve Maternal Health
Beyond offering ethically sourced coffee, 42 Days Coffee is dedicated to addressing the growing
maternal health crisis in the United States. The United States faces alarmingly high maternal
mortality rates, particularly in the African-American community. According to the National
Institutes of Health, “black women are 3 to 4 times more likely to die a pregnancy-related death
as compared to white women.”
Leveraging Dr. Meekins’ expertise in Public Health, Diverse Populations & Health Equity, the
company donates 10% of all profits to organizations working to improve maternal care and reduce health disparities.
“Our mission is simple: deliver exceptional coffee while making a real difference in people’s lives,” says Rodney Thompson, Co-Founder of 42 Days Coffee. “By choosing our brand, customers are fueling a movement that supports fair wages for farmers and critical maternal health initiatives.”
More Than Just Coffee – A Call for Change
42 Days Coffee stands out by merging social impact with premium quality. Consumers who choose 42 Days Coffee are not just enjoying a superior brew but are actively participating in positive global change—supporting both coffee farmers and maternal health advocacy.
