1,000 Coffee Giving

So far, 1,000 Coffee at LO has been an incredible platform of collective generosity. We are excited to support this initiative take off even further this year in partnership with our community, ambassadors, and generous giving community. As of March 3, 2022 more than 200 people are dedicating the cost of a coffee/coffees every month to LO beneficiaries, collectively giving a projected $77,000 annually dedicated to long-term access to education for LO beneficiaries. 

We are excited to share with you about the impact of this collective giving. During 2022, 1,000 Coffee Giving is supporting three university scholars through four years of our CATALYST program in Cambodia, two computer labs at our university residences, and 150 girls rides to school on the Blossom Bus!
