Scooter's Coffee Donates $30,000 To American Red Cross

Funds Will Go Towards Midwest Flood Relief Efforts

May 17, 2019 // Franchising.com // Norfolk, NE - Scooter’s Coffee announced a $30,000 donation to the American Red Cross to aid ongoing disaster relief for victims of the March storm that brought historic flooding to large parts of Nebraska and Iowa. The company donated an initial $5,000 in the immediate wake of the disaster and then called upon customers for donations for over a two week time period, matching dollar for dollar through the next $5,000.

“We are very proud of our Nebraska roots, and when we see our community struggling, our first instinct is to harness our brand power to help in every way possible,” stated Todd Graeve, Chief Executive Officer of Scooter’s Coffee. “We were absolutely blown away by the generosity of our customers and their enthusiasm for helping others. There is a spirit of strength and perseverance amongst these tightknit Midwest communities, and we saw that spirit emerge when we called upon our customers to contribute.”

While customers nationwide contributed to the cause, one of the Norfolk, Nebraska, locations (902 W. Benjamin Ave.) raised the most money. The store will host a check presentation for the American Red Cross on Friday, May 17.

“Norfolk was deeply impacted by the floods in March, so it is very heartwarming to see our customers get behind the opportunity to help provide relief for the victims,” stated Brooke Wenzl, operator of both stores in Norfolk. “We have always felt that Scooter’s is a central part of the Norfolk community, and we are so proud to be in the position to help.”
