Brewing Hope, One Cup at a Time

A Purposeful Collaboration

At Black Aswad Coffee Co., our mission goes beyond coffee. We are deeply committed to supporting mental wellness, building community, and contributing to causes that matter. That’s why we are honored to collaborate with CASA of Los Angeles (CASA/LA)—a powerful organization dedicated to advocating for youth in foster care across Los Angeles County.

This partnership is rooted in shared values: deep love, justice, authenticity, integrity, accountability, and respect. Together, we aim to raise awareness, provide support, and create meaningful impact for some of the most vulnerable members of our community.

Who is CASA of Los Angeles?

CASA/LA mobilizes community volunteers—Court Appointed Special Advocates—who provide one-on-one advocacy and support for youth in foster care. These youth often face immense mental health challenges, disrupted education, and the risk of housing insecurity. CASA/LA works tirelessly to ensure they are seen, heard, and supported at every step.

Their impact is powerful:

65% of CASA/LA-supported youth experience improved mental health outcomes.
62% see better educational progress.
64% secure permanent placement by case closure.

Through unwavering advocacy, CASA/LA helps youth in foster care gain access to the services and stability they need to thrive.

Why This Collaboration Matters

The need is urgent:

80% of youth in foster care experience serious mental health challenges.
50% will not graduate from high school.
27% of LA’s unhoused population have spent time in the foster care system.

With every cup of coffee, we aim to change that. Our specially crafted Premium HAVEN Breakfast Blend was created in honor of this collaboration. A warm, smooth, and bold medium roast, HAVEN is a symbol of security and hope.

20% of proceeds from every bag of HAVEN go directly to CASA/LA, supporting their mission to uplift and empower youth in foster care.
