Every year in July the PeaceWorks community comes together celebrate our solidarity work with the people of Nicaragua. Join us for some awesome BBQ, salads and treats with interesting people who love to share a good meal, listen to live music and build community in New Jersey and Nicaragua.

Kicking Off our 2026 Virtual Shipment to Nicaragua

At the Solidarity Roast, we’re kicking off a campaign to raise $7K to solar power 10 families that grow cacao beans in rural Nicaragua. The CacaoNica project grows the good stuff: organic, fair trade, Rainforest Alliance-certified chocolate that you see in the fancy, high-end stores in the US and Europe. The stuff that melts in your mouth.

But getting high quality cacao beans to market from the 42 rural, hard-to reach hamlets surrounding Waslala, Nicaragua is extremely challenging.  That’s why, this summer, we’re launching a $7K “Virtual Shipment” campaign to lighten their load. $7K will power 10 homes with solar panels.
