Coffee – Chris Jacobson

Jacobson Coffee is now Good Stuff Coffee

November 12, 2016November 13, 2016 Chris Jacobson

As I was pondering a name for our brand, it hit me. For the past couple years, everywhere I went where there were coffee drinkers, I would ask if they wanted to try “the Good Stuff.” As we head toward 2017, we will begin to white-label some of the premium brands we currently distribute and sell them under the Good Stuff Coffee brand.

We will also continue to support Doing Good Works in their mission to create jobs for kids aging out of foster care. To that end, we’re running a special promotion primarily through Facebook, but you can also find us on Twitter and Instagram.

Save 10-20% off depending on when you order. The earlier you order, the more you save!
(And discounts apply to Delivery and Shipping fees, too!)

Change Your Coffee, Change A Life – With Cause Kups

If you already buy coffee, shifting some or all of your coffee purchases to Cause Kups will make a permanent difference in the lives of emancipated foster youth.

(use Promo Code “jacobson”)

Not every child has had the privilege of being raised by two loving parents. By the age of 18, many foster kids have been bounced around to 10-20 different homes and families. Statistically, more than half of them end up on the streets or in jail within two years of “aging out” at 18 or 21.

CauseKupsLogo-2to1-Ck At Cause Kups, we help these young men and women that age out of foster care to earn a living wage. We create jobs for them, we assist with their transportation issues, and we help them to transition into a career so they become independent and self-sustaining and never end up on the streets.

We’re doing a push right now we call our “200 Cup Challenge,” asking businesses, churches, and other entities that buy coffee regularly to switch to buying some or all of their coffee from Cause Kups instead, to help us create jobs for these emancipated foster youth.

(use Promo Code “jacobson”)

CauseKupsLogo-2to1-Ck The idea is that 2000 businesses each purchasing 200 cups of Cause Kups coffee per month will generate about $20,000 per month (actually more like $28k) for wages and transportation assistance, creating 10-20 new jobs for foster youth!

Cause Kups are available in 12- and 24-count cartons of Single Serve Kups that work in all Keurig machines, or in 12-oz bags either whole bean or ground. We also have Cold Brew coffee, read-to-drink or concentrate! 200 cups are only $140, which includes free shipping. Subscriptions are automatic, delivered twice a month, with absolutely no penalties or fees to cancel at any time.

Doing Good Works Announces 200 Cup Challenge to Benefit Foster Youth

Doing Good Works Launches New Campaign Encouraging OC Businesses to Switch their Coffee and Provide Needed Funds for OC Foster Care Youth
“200 Cup Challenge” Launches Today; Creates Jobs

Irvine, Calif., June 23, 2015 — It’s said that coffee is the lifeblood of business and Orange County is no exception. But a local organization wants OC Businesses to make their coffee count for more than just a quick caffeine buzz. Starting today, the Cause Kups division of Doing Good Works, LLC, is setting out to permanently change the lives of kids aging out of foster care by helping them to become fully independent and self-sustaining individuals – through coffee.

In their “200 Cup Challenge” campaign, which launches today, Doing Good Works is asking 2,000 businesses in Orange County to commit to buying at least 200 cups of Cause Kups coffee per month. Cause Kups Coffee is available in bags, whole bean or ground, or in single serving cups that work in all Keurig machines. Companies interested in participating should visit http://200cups.com for more information.

The simple act of switching coffee providers will generate a pool of $26,000 every month, from which Doing Good Works will directly employ foster care graduates. Not only will these foster care grads be employed and paid a living wage, but they will also receive assistance to solve their transportation issues in getting to and from work.

Statistics show that nearly 50 percent of these young men and women tragically end up on the streets. Doing Good Works aims to prevent this from happening “by addressing the root cause of the problem instead of putting bandages on the symptoms.”

“There are plenty of non-profits that are doing a wonderful job of providing job-skills and life-skills training, plus one-on-one mentoring to help the kids along,” says DGW Head Dot Connector, Scott Henderson. “But where they all seem to fall down is in getting these young adults employed, paying them a living wage, and assisting them with transportation issues to get them to and from work. This is where we come in, bridging that final gap to independence and self-sustainability.”

As the campaign rolls out across social media, business owners and managers will be asked to record and post a short video stating that they have just committed to purchasing Cause Kups coffee, and challenge by name three other individuals who are decision-makers at their respective companies to accept the challenge and sign up within 48 hours of being challenged.

About Doing Good Works / Cause Kups

A for-profit company uniquely structured such that it can accept grants and donations and provide full tax write-offs to its donors as if it were a qualifying 501(c)3, DGW is the only company of its kind in Orange County and one of only eight such organizations nationwide.

Last night, Jaxon and I provided organic fluid bed roasted coffee pour overs, courtesy of The Lost Bean, at the Blondies Style one year anniversary event and fashion show.

$4 from every bag of coffee sold at the event went directly to The Joyful Foundation, which provides blankets for folks with extended hospital stays to keep them warm and brighten their spirits.
