History
Founded by a former University Dean and Professor, Sanctuary grew out of years of mentoring and discussions with students who dreamt of a viable way for people to meet, be mentored and impact social needs and injustices right within their own communities. With the commitment of some former students, Dr. Steve Gerali launched Sanctuary Claremont, a 501c3 non-profit organization. The coffee house will turn all of its profits into Claremont and the surrounding communities. The name Sanctuary was chosen because it denotes a safe place and a sacred space. We hope you experience both.
