Profiles in Light: Green Beans Coffee Company and Cup of Joe for a Joe

Ever wondered how you could send a quick thank you to a random service member?    Well, here’s an answer for you.

In 2009, the Green Beans Coffee Company began a program called “Cup of Joe for a Joe.”   Simply put, this program gives people back home the opportunity to say “thanks” to a service member through buying them a cup of coffee, tea, etc., and sending a note of encouragement along with it.   The company operates at several overseas and forward bases.   Service members sign up to receive the gift of a cup of coffee, and Green Beans Coffee Company randomly selects service men and women to receive the gift through a program developed to help ensure all who sign up receive at least one gift.   

You can purchase a Cup of Joe for a Joe for just $2.00 or have a box sent to the front for $7.00.   You can donate as many cups or boxes as you’d like.  If you happen to have a service member you know, you can purchase a gift card to have sent to them.

You can donate a cup or box of coffee or find more information at the Green Beans Coffee Company website found here:
You can also find them on Facebook here:


So, please, if you have a little spare change, take a second this Memorial Day to remember those who are putting their lives on the line.
