With a heart still drawn to service after many years in the United States Marine Corps, Rich Turner continues to invent new ways to serve veterans and first responders. Together with United States Army Green Beret, Craig Coppock, they launched Bulwark Coffee Company as a way to raise awareness and support for those who stand ready to lay their lives down in protection for their communities. These are the true heroes and they deserve, not only our respect, but our unwavering support.

BCC has 3 overarching tenants:
1. Quality – the coffee is guaranteed to keep you coming back for more!
2. Service – the sole purpose of this business is to serve those who serve us
3. Transparency – we believe absolute integrity sets us apart from the world

BCC continues to innovate in creative ways to encourage and facilitate community support to local first responders. Bulwark Coffee Company commits 100% of its profits to support first responders across the United States. Even as a private company, we believe our promise for transparency urges us to share our financials.

In summary, here’s our promise: If you support your local heroes, we’ll provide you with quality coffee.

Simple! Visit the Bulwark-Coffee.com/Community link and register your department. That’s it!

Yes! To ensure our records remains updated, we require each department to register using their department annually. It is free to participate. Simply click REGISTER and fill out the form. 

In true competitive fashion, the department with the most donations in the preceding year makes it onto the following year’s seasonal coffee. 

To maximize community engagement, the competition is a regional one (within states). Therefore, a NYC department will not be in competition with a significantly smaller one from rural Oklahoma or Tennessee. 

Yes! In order to qualify in consecutive years, the department has to double the donations received in their previous year.

Absolutely! We have volume discount programs which enable BCC to compete on price point, making it all the more affordable to support your local first responders.

Yes! Simply refer to the profile you created on your first purchase. From then on, your donations are something to brag about! And we make it easy for you to brag accurately.

No. What makes Bulwark Coffee Company unique is that it is the only coffee company in the world that donates 100% of its profits to first responders. As a for-profit company, it operates as a competitive business, always seeking to optimize its margins in order to maximize its contribution to the heroes we support.

However, you can always make a tax-deductible contribution directly to the Bulwark Coffee Foundation!

Yes! Bulwark Coffee Foundation does accept tax deductible contributions to support first responders. Thank you for supporting our brave men and women!
