You can host a Coffee Break! You can host a Coffee Break anytime in September. It can be as easy as putting a poster and donation box by the coffee pot at work or as much fun as gathering people together for a special Coffee Break with tea, coffee and sweets. We provide suggestions and Host Kits with everything you need, including coffee, to make your Coffee Break a success.
You can sponsor or donate! Sponsorship opportunities are available, including cash and in-kind support.
