Coffee Lovers Unite
For coffee enthusiasts, we have two fantastic opportunities to support BBBSIA through local coffee shops:
Throughout September, visit Mayalu Coffee (📍 4226 Fleur Drive, Des Moines, IA 50321) to enjoy “The BIG Wake Up” blend. This smooth Nepalese coffee is a great way to start your day, and part of the proceeds from this blend support BBBSIA’s mentoring programs.
From Sept. 15-21, stop by Zanzibar’s Coffee Adventure (📍 2723 Ingersoll Ave, Des Moines, IA 50312) for the return of "The Big Little" coffee blend. Enjoy this unique flavor while contributing to the mentoring programs that change lives. Part of the proceeds from this blend support BBBSIA's mentoring programs.
The Power of Community Support
Attending these events is not just about savoring good food and coffee; it’s a chance to come together and support the next generation. Funds raised during these events will help BBBSIA continue its mission of providing mentorship and support to young people.
