For the fourth consecutive year, Nossa Familia Coffee proudly joined Chefs Cycle in support of No Kid Hungry, continuing a tradition that began in 2023.
What started as an opportunity to support an important cause has become a meaningful part of who we are. Every year, chefs, restaurateurs, culinary leaders, and food industry professionals from across the country come together with a shared mission: helping end childhood hunger in America.

2026 Chefs Cycle Sponsors
Chefs Cycle 2026 was made possible through the support of sponsors who share a commitment to ending childhood hunger and strengthening communities through food, hospitality, and philanthropy.
We're proud to have joined an incredible group of organizations supporting No Kid Hungry's mission:
As a proud 2026 Chefs Cycle Sponsor, Nossa Familia Coffee was honored to once again support this incredible event and the life-changing work of No Kid Hungry.
Four Years Riding for a Cause
Since first participating in Chefs Cycle in 2023, Nossa Familia Coffee has stood alongside a community of chefs, businesses, and advocates dedicated to ensuring every child has access to the food they need to thrive.
Food has always been about more than nourishment. It creates connection, strengthens communities, and brings people together. That's why the mission of No Kid Hungry resonates so deeply with us.
As we returned for our fourth consecutive year, we were reminded once again that meaningful change happens when people unite around a common purpose.
Because no child should have to be hungry.
Riding 100 Miles in Bend, Oregon
This year, Nossa Familia Coffee CEO Augusto Carneiro joined riders from across the country in Bend, Oregon, completing a challenging 100-mile ride in support of No Kid Hungry.
Chefs Cycle isn't a race. It's a movement.
Every mile ridden helps raise awareness and funds for programs that connect children and families with nutritious meals. Riders spend months preparing, fundraising, and advocating for the cause before arriving at the event.
The roads around Bend offered beautiful scenery and challenging terrain, but the focus remained on something much bigger than the ride itself: helping children gain access to the meals they need to learn, grow, and succeed.

What Is Chefs Cycle?
Chefs Cycle is an annual cycling event that brings together leaders from the food and hospitality industries to raise funds and awareness for No Kid Hungry, a campaign of Share Our Strength dedicated to ending childhood hunger in the United States.
Participants commit to fundraising efforts before taking on long-distance rides alongside fellow chefs, restaurant owners, food producers, sponsors, and supporters who believe food can be a force for positive change.
Together, these efforts help support meal programs, community partnerships, and initiatives that connect children with reliable access to nutritious food.
Chefs and culinary leaders from across the country united for a common cause.
Why No Kid Hungry Matters
Millions of children in the United States face food insecurity every year.
No Kid Hungry works to address this challenge by helping children access meals through school breakfast programs, summer meal initiatives, community organizations, and advocacy efforts that strengthen food access nationwide.
Their mission is simple: No child should go hungry.
It's a mission that resonates deeply with everyone in the food industry.
As coffee professionals, we see every day how food and beverages bring people together. Supporting No Kid Hungry is one way we can help extend that sense of care and community to families who need it most.
Why Coffee Companies Support Community Impact
At Nossa Familia Coffee, we believe great coffee can do more than fuel our mornings. It can strengthen communities, support nonprofits, and create meaningful change through partnerships and giving-back initiatives.
As a certified B Corporation, we strive to build a business that benefits not only our customers, but also our employees, coffee-producing communities, nonprofit partners, and the environment.
You can learn more about this commitment in our 2025 B Corp Report: Using Coffee as a Force for Good.
