December 15 - Cup of Joe For A Joe

CUP OF JOE FOR A JOE gives everyone an opportunity to express their support for our men and women in uniform through the simple act of buying a cup of premium coffee and having it delivered along with their own personalized message of thanks to a Soldier serving overseas.




The whole idea behind Cup Of Joe For A Joe is to give folks here at home an opportunity to send a Cup of Joe (Troops call them a COJ) and a letter of thanks to a Soldier, Airman, Sailor, Marine or Coast Guardsman overseas. Because the person here at home who sends the COJ and the Service Member who receives it are matched on a completely random basis, you don't have to personally know anyone who is serving overseas in order to send a Cup Of Joe.




Troops deployed overseas in support of Operation Enduring Freedom (Afghanistan) or Operation New Dawn (Iraq) sign up to participate in Cup Of Joe For A Joe by enrolling on the Green Beans Coffee website or at the Green Beans cafe on their base.
 

When COJ receives contributions from people here at home they use a process to randomly assign the COJ gifts to the Troops. They send them an email notice telling them that they have received a Cup Of Joe from you and  include the email letter you wrote. They also give the Service Member an opportunity to write back to you and register their COJ for pick up at the Green Beans cafe on their base. All they need do to pick up your gift is stop by the cafe and ID themselves to the staff.




Sending a Cup Of Joe is easy, takes just a few moments, and at only $2 costs about the same as the spare change in your pocket.





Today only... Green Beans Coffee will MATCH YOUR COJ CONTRIBUTION dollar for dollar with a cash donation to Children of Fallen Soldiers Relief Fund, Inc. This wonderful organization helps provide college grants to surviving U.S. Military children whose lives have been affected by the loss of a parent in the Afghan...istan or Iraq wars. The program has been expanded to include spouses and families of severely disabled veterans affected by these two conflicts. If you've been thinking about sending a Cup Of Joe to our Troops this holiday season, now is a great time to do so. Not only will you bring a little bit of cheer to our Troops overseas, you'll also help fund an education for a child who's lost a parent in service to our country.
