Gloria Jean’s Coffees Foundation donates $5,000 to fire victims
The foundation made a $5,000 donation to the Lord Mayor’s Disaster Relief Fund (LMDRF) in Western Australia to support the victims of the Waroona and district fires.
Gloria Jean’s Coffees (GJC) guests will also be able to assist the communities in Western Australia affected by the bushfires by donating to the LMDRF at any GJC coffee house in Western Australia.
Gloria Jean’s Coffees Managing Director Rick Graham said he has been impressed by the enthusiasm of franchisees and guests in the GJC family to raise funds for the appeal. “I am extremely proud of our team on the ground in Western Australia, who responded quickly to the disaster and have demonstrated their passion for helping their local communities,” he said.
“Our guests are always generous and willing to help so we are making it easy for them by allowing them to donate to support disaster relief and recovery work at any coffee house in Australia.”
From 15 January until the end of February, donation boxes in all participating GJC coffee houses throughout Australia will be dedicated to collecting funds for the Western Australian bushfire appeal.
The donations aim to help the LMDRF provide practical and financial support to the victims of the fires and help them rebuild their lives.
