Last Thursday was big day for Seattle's Best Coffee and Creature. Not only did the redesigned website go live, but it also marked the launch of the Brew-lanthropy project. Every day, volunteers across the US do remarkably good work while drinking really bad coffee—and the new initiative is kicked off to address this problem. Seattle’s Best will award nonprofit organizations with a break room makeover, free coffee for a year, $5,000 to continue to brew more good and a chance to tell their story.
The Brew-lanthropy Project was launched by awarding a coffee makeover to the staff and volunteers at Blackstone Bicycle Works, a nonprofit organization on the south side of Chicago. Blackstone is a beacon of hope for hundreds of neighborhood kids. The shop teaches life lessons through bike mechanics and healthy living through fun.
To find the next deserving organization, we're asking the Facebook community to become Brew-lanthropists. Anyone can nominate a nonprofit in need of a coffee break makeover by submitting a 250 word essay about the organization at the Seattle’s Best Coffee Facebook Page (entries will be accepted from March 31 to April 29).
