Description

Humphreys Street began in 2008 as part of Harvest Hands, an organization that provides after-school programs for South Nashville students. They were invited by South Nashville Action People, known as SNAP, to help solve challenges in the community and focus on the area’s youth. Humphreys Street began by roasting coffee and crafting soap. In 2018 they opened a coffee shop that also sells their soap and employs sixteen local students a year.
