Coffee for Our Troops

A few weeks ago, my best friend Kelly's husband shipped out to Iraq for the next year and a half. She and I were talking the other day and she mentioned all the care packages she had been shipping to him. She also mentioned wanting to ship coffee to him. I let her know about a program that is sending coffee to our troops and she was able to sign up Greg for the program.

Boca Java, a coffee service based in Florida, has been doing this for a few years. They just launched a program this summer in which customers can purchase bags of coffee to be sent to our troops and they will match the donation. I thought that I would forward the information on, in case anyone was interested in participating. I have attached all of the information below.

Boca Java has been supporting our troops for almost two years by sending coffee abroad to our troops. They are doing a great job for us and we want to provide them with a little taste of home!

In mid-July we announced a new program, Send Coffee to our Troops, where we will allow you, our customers, to help us in sending coffee to our troops. The response has been FANTASTIC! We thank everyone who has participated.

In the spirit of making this a special project, we have set a goal of donating one million (1,000,000) cups of coffee between our July introduction and December 31, 2005. We know it is a lofty goal, but with all of your help we can do it! To formalize this, we are naming this OPERATION MILLION CUP.

For every bag of coffee you donate, Boca Java will match the donation by sending an equivalent bag of coffee.

In addition, we are providing the coffee for donation at a discounted price of $4 per 8 oz. bag. For just $4 you can send 60 cups of delicious coffee!

They do so much for us, this is a way for you and Boca Java to give something back to them together!
