Coffee Beanery - Perking Up Troops Overseas
4th of July promotion to send coffee to military overseas

Flushing, MI – June 24, 2009 – To celebrate Independence Day this year, Coffee Beanery will continue to do something they have for years – Send specialty coffee to US troops who are serving overseas. Beginning June 29 Coffee Beanery customers can join their efforts and ship coffee to our troops for just $5.00 a pound.

Coffee Beanery ran the same offer to customers for a week around Memorial Day and got a great response. That week Coffee Beanery and their customers raised over 220 pounds of coffee that were sent to troops oversees through Operation Care Package.

The company decided to repeat the promotion for the 4th of July holiday. Customers can donate coffee by going to www.coffeebeanery.com or at participating Coffee Beanery locations. Customers have always been able to donate coffee on-line, but it was normally at the regular retail price. Coffee Beanery wanted to raise awareness that customers could donate coffee to be shipped and were thrilled that so many got involved. After getting great feedback, Coffee Beanery decided to make the offer again so that their customers could, once again, show their support by sending coffee to the troops for just $5.00 a pound.

Over the past seven years Coffee Beanery has sent thousands of pounds of specialty coffee to American troops serving overseas. The gesture has always been very appreciated and soldiers look forward to getting something from “back home.” For the week leading up to the 4th of July, Coffee Beanery is focused again on raising awareness that their customers can send coffee to those serving our country.
