Donate a Bag of Joe

One morning this past week (before I left for Denver), I stopped by my favorite Starbucks on the way to work and ordered my usual venti cup of tasty frothiness. After I paid my bill, I walked over next to the barista and waited for my order. In those few minutes, I noticed a basket between the cash registers and the barista station… it was full of 1 lb bags of coffee. The sign above it stated something along the lines of: “Support Our Troops- Donate Coffee to The Soldiers”. Every bag in the basket had hand-written notes (w/ a marker) to the soldiers on the bags from the donors. I actually tear-ed up in the middle of Starbucks. I told Hubby about it that night. His response was, “well did you donate a bag?” I wanted to…but, the line was 10 deep by then and the basket was physically located where you will not see it until you have already paid for your cup of joe! I will make a point to go by there this week. So should you.
