Mission Statement

Hillside Grind is a donation-based, non-profit coffeehouse ministry of UKirk WCU, the Presbyterian Church (USA) Campus Ministry serving Western Carolina University in Cullowhee, NC.  The coffeehouse ministry is our way of serving the campus community and building relationships with others. This mission flows from our belief that we are called to show hospitality to others and so we do our very best to provide the best coffee and the best experience as our way of doing ministry.

About Our Products

All of our coffee drinks come from the Dynamite Roasting Company, based in Black Mountain, NC. Dynamite's 100% certified organic and fair trade coffee is the result of working closely with partners and growers to ensure the very best quality beans.

We also have a variety of non-coffee beverages including cold drinks, smoothies, and teas.

Most days of the week, we also have a food truck out front during lunchtime.

About Your Donations

All of our products are offered with a suggested donation that helps offset the cost of the goods themselves. Our staff are not volunteers - they are all paid staff. We are happy to be a small business providing jobs to students at WCU and we can only do that with the help of your donations.
