Helping Our Coffee Clubs Survive

After talking to the great folks at No. 6 Cafe in Raumati Beach, I've been thinking (don't laugh).

Why don't we bring in a 'voluntary' 10% donation on all coffees until the end of the year?

Hopefully, this would help the cafes we love to recover from the grievous blows inflicted by the Lockdown.

Helen and I are happy to do this. How about you? Customers could just add 'pay it forward' or something similar when they ordered.

If the Lockdown has shown us anything, it's shown us just what we can do when we combine to tackle a problem!
