OUR MISSION

Coalition Of Forward Facing Ellenville (C.O.F.F.E.) is a community based non-profit organization that works with volunteers to uplift the Ellenville community and support social service partnerships, cultural arts programming, mentorships in conjunction with the Ellenville Central School, and producing real-life solutions for legacy challenges of the area.

COFFE's key goal is to facilitate the integration of incoming residents in Ellenville and surrounding areas with the existing community so it can prosper from a new wave of energy whilst still maintaining its unique character.

“We’re elated to have hit the ground running with accomplishments that benefit the village while having been funded entirely independently,”
— Tori Messner, president of C.O.F.F.E.
