Gloria Jean’s Coffees Windsor Riverview is proudly partnering with New Haven Farm Home on Saturday 9 and Sunday 10 December 2017 to bring a fun, family friendly event to the Hawkesbury community.
Local Gloria Jean’s Coffees Franchise Partner Safi Azizi expressed that the event aims to increase public awareness, understanding and acceptance of people living with disabilities and celebrate their achievements and contributions to local community, by supporting New Haven Farm Home – a local Hawkesbury based not-for-profit organisation that provides accommodation and lifestyle support to people with disabilities.
“We will be donating 50 cents from every regular or large coffee as well as one dollar from all bottles of water sold throughout the duration of the event,” Safi said.
“All funds raised will be donated to New Haven Farm Home helping people with disasbilities to achieve their goals through an individualised approach to support, skills development and community inclusion.”
As well as supporting the not-for-profit organisation during the event, the team at Gloria Jean’s Coffees Windsor Riverview also provide continuous hands-on support by offering weekly work experience to one of New Haven Farm Home’s clients, Shaun.
“Shaun enjoys hospitality and interacting with people, one of his goals was to find work experience in a local Hawkesbury café – and this is where we decided to step in,” Safi said.
“Shaun enjoys his work and takes great pride in his role, learning new skills and being an active member of our community.”
Donations to New Haven Farm Home can also be made at www.newhavenfarm.org.au or by phoning (02) 4579 6131. All donations over two dollars are tax deductible.
Gloria Jean’s Coffees Windsor Riverview is located at Windsor Riverview Shopping Centre, 227 George Street, Windsor.
