Second Cup
truly does care about their communities and donates to many charities and
non-profit organizations. Many time’s
through the year, they will donate a certain portion of a specific drinks
profits to charities.
In November 2010, “Second Cup
was thrilled to announce a newly established partnership with Salvation Army
Canada, to support individuals in need during this special time of year.
Effective November 29, 2010 guests can purchase a limited edition $3 gift card
(while supplies last), and a contribution in appreciation of gift card
purchases will be donated to the Salvation Army” (Salvation Army). Second Cup
was very proud to partner up with the Salvation Army to help individuals in
need.
Another charity that Second
Cup donated to during the holidays was the Edmonton Food Bank. “Second Cup
locations across the capital region have stepped up to show their Turkey Drive
spirit in a big way. Around twenty franchise stores will have donation jars in
their stories for the length of the campaign” (CBC News). All of the proceeds
of the jars were donated to the food bank.

It's good to see Second Cup actively working in the community, however there has been quite a bit of controversy wih the Salvation Army arising from their stance on homosexuality. I wonder if this was the smartest chocie in partnership, considering how recent this controversy is.
ReplyDeleteIts always good to give back and work in the community, i feel that they have made a good connection with the salvation army, and the food bank in this festive season with thanksgiving and christmas just around the corner, they are trying to help and allow everyone to enjoy a good holiday season
