Year 2009 passed so quickly that I didn’t even notice that it was already end of the year.  Usually, we cap off the end of the year with the Yuletide season, which is the season of giving.  Last year, Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf launched the 12 Cups of Advocacy campaign that opened the very spirit of giving. 

This year, they’re doing it again and this time, they have doubled the cause organizations they want to help out.  Everyone has a cause they cherish–the environment, kids, animals, the list goes on. And this Christmas, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf is allowing you to celebrate Christmas and give back to the community with the launch of their holiday program: Give in to Giving: 24 Cups with The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf.  Instead of just extending the Christmas giving to friends and families, you can now heighten the “sharing” experience by giving to someone who is a complete stranger to us.  The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf recently sponsored an advocacy fair where the public can know more about these various groups and beneficiaries and ways in how they can help. 

The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf has earmarked a portion of beverage sales for 24 community advocacies, each with its own unique approach and all of which have come onboard for this holiday program. With the various calamities that have befallen the country in recent months, it is important that we come together and help each other out in our own little way. Your initial contribution may seem like a drop in the bucket now, but in time, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf assures its customers that the percentage from every cup sold will be going back to a community in need –so every drop in the bucket is precious and appreciated. And it is everyone’s hope that in time, that bucket will overflow with the generosity of CBTL patrons like yourself who surely have a cause they are passionate about.

Each purchase can help empower someone to do good for fellow Filipinos. Information about Give in to Giving: 24 Cups with The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf can also be found online at The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf Facebook page detailing specific branches of The Bean where you can be part of the program.  Everyone who gives in to giving will be given a Christmas treat as a way for The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf to thank you for your generosity and donation certificates are also available for purchase.

It’s time to give a warmer and more soulful meaning to sharing this season–toast to your blessings as your giving cup of coffee or tea eases away your worries and contributes to rebuilding someone’s home.

I’m also proud to say that Bubba is spearheading a “project for a cause” this Christmas.  From planning to recruiting to execution, Bubba is in charge of the logistics.  I want to thank ahead friends who have already pledged 3 hours of their day on December 20 to help out Bubba with the Virlanie Foundation kids.

Volunteers are very much welcome.  Please email me at betweenbites@gmail.com
