Bottom-less Cup of Giving

  Over the past decade we were very fortunate in that we could afford to give more than 10% of our profits directly to organizations in the communities where we have stores. With the price of raw beans more than doubling we had to make a choice... Keep our prices the same or cut back on our giving. Between those two choices, we chose NEITHER.

The Answer was really Simple

We've got the tip jar, 'cause we know you love the staff, and because we love our customers we have regular discounts, seasonal savings, punch cards and all those things that give you back a little bit more... and that keeps you loving US!

It just never occurred to us to ask you to help us in our goal to support local causes until we joined a program that helps Students [or any certified group] meet their fundraising goals.

Next time you drop by, You can pick out an organization you want to support and when you join the program we will add $1 to your donation. From that point on you get the best deals we offer, and the best deals from other local businesses too.

Building Better Connections

Since we joined this program, our combined marketing and sponsorship budget has actually increased by a few percent, but that is okay because business is up by more than 20%. That means despite the continued high cost for quality raw coffee beans we can afford to keep helping local groups and keep our prices the same.

The most exciting part is that since our customers have joined our quest to help local organizations, the real-world impact for these groups has been fantastic. All of our 4 primary target groups reported that they exceeded their fundraising goals, and one even made so much that they used their excess proceeds to pay all the fees for their Senior class member!

Thank You for being such great Customers & Generous People
