Clear impact.🔥
We are a coffee trailer supporting survivors of trafficking—100% of profits benefit SARA’s Roots, a supportive tiny home initiative on the Space Coast of FL.

05/29/2026

At Root + Gather, we keep it simple:

☕️ Organic small-batch coffee (hold the mold!)

🌺 Organic, clean syrups with ingredients you can actually pronounce (and find in your pantry)

🥛 Organic milk and dairy-free options

No junk. No unnecessary additives. Just really good coffee + ingredients.

But the very best part is that every purchase supports survivors of trafficking through SARA’s Roots supportive housing 🏘️

The Space Coast deserves coffee that’s cleaner, tastes better, and gives back — and we’re proud to be bringing this winning combo in one purpose-filled cup. 👊🏼

Welcome back Julianne 🤍

One of the sweetest familiar faces back behind the window this summer at Root + Gather Coffee Co. ☕️

Julianne first served with us last summer as a volunteer barista, and getting to welcome her back this year — now officially working on the trailer team — feels extra special.

She just completed her first year at Southeastern University as part of the Class of 2029, and we’ve loved watching her step confidently into this new season of life.

Whether she’s serving customers, encouraging those around her, or jumping in wherever needed, Julianne carries such a steady joy and kindness that makes people feel instantly welcomed.

She loves family, friends, traveling, and making memories with the people she loves most. Last year she graduated from Merritt Island Christian School — right down the road from us on Magnolia Ave — alongside the love of her life, making this community feel even more connected and special.

One of the greatest gifts of this little trailer is getting to walk alongside young people as they grow, chase dreams, and discover where the Lord is leading them. Seeing students come back year after year and continue to flourish is something we will never take for granted.

We’re so thankful for Julianne, her heart to serve, and the joy she brings to our little coffee corner all summer long ☀️

Make sure to say hi to her next time you stop by the trailer!

Meet Bella 🤍

One of our volunteer baristas-in-training at Root + Gather Coffee Co. and already such a joy to have in the trailer!

We’re so excited for the summer season and all of the new faces, stories, and community it brings with it. Bella is a quick learner with a creative spirit and a strong work ethic, and we know she’s going to flourish behind the bar.

She’s a young entrepreneur chasing big dreams while faithfully following the path the Lord is leading her on — and we’re honored to get to be a small part of that journey.

Bella also comes from an incredible family who has deeply supported ReleaseSARA and SARA’s Roots through their involvement in helping make Christmas Market on Magnolia 2025 such a meaningful success. We’re beyond thankful for families who show up, serve well, and pour into this community alongside us.

Make sure to say hi to Bella when you see her at the trailer this summer ☕️✨

Meet Jordan 🤍

One of the incredible women behind the window at Root + Gather Coffee — and truly one of the hardest working people you’ll ever meet!

Jordan is currently balancing full-time nursing school as she works toward completing her LPN degree, raising two kids, and regularly serving in the coffee trailer with excellence and joy. There honestly isn’t much this mama can’t do! 💪🏼

She’s ambitious, driven, compassionate, and somehow still shows up with the biggest smile and the kind of encouragement that makes people feel instantly seen and welcomed.🫶🏼

If Jordan is making your drink, there’s a good chance she’s also juggling ten other things at the same time — and somehow still crafting one of the best drinks you’ve had all week ☕️✨ Superwoman is the only explanation!

We are so thankful we get to be a small part of her story and cheer her on as she follows the path the Lord has placed before her. The future is so bright for this child of God, and we know she’s going to impact countless lives both inside and outside of healthcare. 👩🏾‍⚕️

Make sure to say hi to Jordan next time you stop by the trailer! 💛

🐾TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK STOP # 4

129 bottled lattes delivered to our Magnolia Ave neighbors at Merritt Island Christian School ☕️💛

There’s something special about getting to love on the people right down the road from you—the teachers and staff investing daily into the next generation right here in our own community.

This stop was simple but meaningful:
a full cooler, a whole lot of caffeine, and a reminder that what they do matters.

Huge shoutout to Ann-Marie Britt for hauling and delivering our VERY full (and very heavy 😅) cooler of bottled lattes. Absolute MVP move!

To the staff at MICS—thank you for the way you serve, lead, and pour into students every single day. We’re grateful to call you neighbors! Go Cougars! 🐾👊🏼

TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK STOP #3 ✨

This morning, we had the honor of delivering to the incredible team at Endeavour Elementary—a school that does so much more than educate.

This is a community partnership school—where teachers aren’t just teaching lessons, they’re showing up for students and families in real, tangible ways every single day. Meeting needs. Carrying weight. Changing trajectories.

And this moment? It mattered.

Because every single latte was generously purchased by Church at Viera, creating a double blessing effect!!!

So what happened here was bigger than coffee—

✨ Teachers were seen, encouraged, and celebrated
✨ A school serving its community was poured back into
✨ Survivors in our SARA’s Roots program were directly supported from this purchase

That’s the kind of impact that ripples.

To the staff at Endeavour Elementary—what you do is heavy, meaningful, and deeply important. We see you, and it’s an honor to celebrate you. 🙌🏼

And to Church at Viera—thank you for stepping in and making this moment possible in such a powerful way.🫶🏼

This is what it looks like when a community shows up for each other. 👊🏼

11/12/2025

✨ A few of us met this week to start finalizing plans for Christmas Market on Magnolia — happening right here next to our Root + Gather Coffee trailer on Dec 6th, 10am–4pm! 🎄

If you’ve been thinking about being a vendor, now’s the time — applications close very soon!

This festive market isn’t just about holiday cheer — it’s a fundraiser supporting SARA’s Roots, our supportive tiny homes for survivors of trafficking right here on the Space Coast. ❤️

Come sip coffee and shop local while enjoying holiday music, family fun, photo ops, food trucks, gift wrapping, and so much more! Do more than shop this Christmas — Make a powerful and valuable impact in our community!
