PRLog (Press Release) – Oct 28, 2008 – Jerome Eberharter, of Boise, ID, has been counting beans, coffee beans that is, for more than 20 years.  His counting hasn’t always been about the bottom line, but more about what creates the bottom line.  With a passion to create happy customers, give back to his community, and invite others to find meaning and purpose in their life, Jerome recently added a new dimension to LifeFoods - a home business system whose credo is – do well by doing good.

As the founder of White Cloud Coffee, a 20 year old coffee roasting company and co-founder of Moxie Java with more than 80 espresso cafes in the United States and Japan, this new home business system is for individuals compelled to help others in their community and create financial freedom for themselves.  LifeFoods, is about sharing wonderful products that people enjoy everyday – fresh roasted coffee, hot chocolate, and lemonade.   This new fund-raising system offers hefty profits for non-profits ranging from the Boy Scouts to elementary and high school groups around the country.

Eberharter’s fund-raising efforts already have helped approximately 200 non-profits in southern Idaho area and beyond to raise thouands of dollars through the fundraising sales.  Boy Scout Troop 61 in Boise, for example, raised more than $3,000 this year, according to Fund-raising Chair Dwight Pond.

Other groups successfully using the program have included Girls PAL soccer, Babe Ruth and American Legion baseball teams and the McCall ski team in Idaho and youth hockey teams in Dallas, Texas.

As his children began participating in fund-raising programs for school and extra-curricular groups and he began raising money for literacy through his annual Ride 2 Read motorcycle rally, he began looking for better fund-raising systems for non-profits.

Since launching the fundraising home business system in September, LifeFoods is experiencing growth with four national fundraising marketing directors.
   
A native of Washington state and a graduate of Seattle University with a degree in finance, Eberharter began his coffee career roasting coffee in his garage and delivering coffee in an old Volkswagon van.  Coffee is second to oil, the largest commodity in the world, and as John Adams, local Boise entrepreneur and friend of Eberharter expressed – “Oil runs the car – coffee runs the driver”.  LifeFoods is about the story.  It’s about helping organizations in need of funds that make a difference in their community. It’s about the coffee farmers and the spirit in which the coffee is grown - then roasted, and finally what ends up in your coffee cup.

Jerome is passionate about finding adventure in everything he is involved with.  Today, more than ever, counting beans means what bills are to be paid, sacrificing like never before, and a fear of the future.  Families are losing their homes and jobs and it’s crucial that we create avenues of opportunity for individuals to have a sense of control over their own lives.  The LifeFoods business system is a path by which we can Do Well by Doing Good.  To find out more about the LifeFoods License Program, visit us at http://www.lifefoodslicense.com or call 800-314-7002, ext 3 and speak to Jerome Eberharter directly.
