It’s more than a cafe. It’s coffee with a cause.
A 2nd Cup was established in 2012 to raise awareness of human trafficking issues in Houston—and to develop resources that help create a second chance for survivors.
Our Mission
Educate
Create a space for awareness, conversation, and empowerment.
Come in for great coffee and leave with a sense of purpose. We have served and educated over 78,000 Houstonians and have held over 360 human trafficking awareness events since 2015.
Partner
Collaborate with allies and strengthen their numbers.
The problem of human trafficking is too pervasive to tackle alone. We love being the hub of action in Houston. We’ve spent hundreds of hours working alongside our allies to engage the public to take action.
Provide
Invest in short- and long-term survivor aftercare programs.
We’ve given over $97,000 in financial and in-kind donations to our allies serving survivors and recently began training survivors in the culinary industry through our new program, Brazen Table.
Our Allies
This work cannot be done alone – it takes partnerships and collaboration with anti-trafficking allies.
Ready to take action?
We need people like you to put their heads, hearts, and expertise into the fight against human trafficking.
Awareness Events
Spreading awareness is our best chance to stop human trafficking. Join us for our next awareness event—and bring a friend.
Brazen Table
Our culinary program, Brazen Table, provides tangible job skills that empower survivors of human trafficking to reclaim their lives.
