Danny and Christa Longkumer

Danny and Christa Longkumer run Pilgrim’s Kitchen and Inn in Savannakhet, Laos, where Pilgrim’s Coffee is produced.
“We have a little bit of everything,” says Danny—a bed and breakfast for travelers, a café where local young people hang out and sing karaoke at night. They also own a roaster, where in 2018 they roasted three tons of coffee beans. “My social work professors taught me how to care for people, to love and help them spiritually,” says Christa. She carried that passion for helping others to Laos and into the work that she and Danny do at Pilgrim’s Kitchen and Inn. “Through Pilgrim’s Coffee, we are able to employ eight people and give them economic stability. We help farmers grow better coffee. And your partnership helps us to make a big impact in people’s lives.”
