Coffee Change: Serving the Homeless
Every Coffee Sold Helps the Homeless
Coffee Change is driving the future of humanitarian aid by giving back to the homeless. You probably noticed many food or coffee outlets promote or sponsor some type of charity event. You often tend to notice a plastic see-through jar or a box with a name of a charity Often many people drop some change or spare some currency notes in it if they feel generous enough. One such initiative is called ‘Driving For Change’.
The Ultimate Goal
The ambition anointed Driving For Change is a true visionary and ingenious approach to embarking on the homeless crisis which can be seen overpopulating the urban civilization more than any other province.
Due to unemployment, poverty, natural disasters, and high lifestyle expenses in the city and other sectors have left thousands of people homeless with a million to that number on a global expanse.
The program driving for change is designed to provide direct intervention in needy people’s lives. Here homeless citizens will be given and will bring direct intervention for front access to GP consultations, admission to showers, haircuts, and even a mobile dentist which is the biggest blessing any homeless person can have. The vision was to tackle the homeless problem hands-on by serving people coffee and offering services to the stray and abandoned in the community. This ingenious idea turned out to be a win-win situation for all.
The Funding Process
It’s quite simple, you just buy a regular coffee from their outlet, and in return, they assist people with employment opportunities to get back into their homes and help them get back on their feet. Firstly, the quality and taste of the coffee are amazing so you get your money’s worth since the establishment hopes you visit again for your next refill.
Secondly, the profits in the business are segregated and used to keep the initiative active while also providing homeless people humanitarian essentials to keep them going as well. Just think, your coffee stimulates and refreshes you for your day and now you could even feel better knowing you are making a difference in a homeless person’s life. Who knew all this would be possible by you just sipping your coffee? 100% of the revenue profits contribute to the living wage, housing, training, and employment opportunities for the homeless.
Know More About The Campaign
The campaign ‘Driving for Change’ runs because of people like you who buy ‘Change Please’ coffee. ‘Change Please’ coffee has contributed 100% of its profits to funding charitable events. This initiative rests solely on the continuous support from its London residents and sponsors. We must face the fact that the climate crisis is a big problem for the homeless. London is famous for its freaky and unpredictable weather and having extreme climatic conditions can cause thousands of homeless victims to fall sick and in the worst case even be fatal.
Even with the current Covid pandemic on the prowl humanitarian aid is in dire need. It is truly admirable to watch this campaign push through all these hurdles and offer vital services from food supply to health care with many redirecting their models for the pursuit to support homeless people. ‘Change Please’ is very modest in its assistance and also claims that there are almost 100,000 of these enterprises in the UK, like them, contributing a whopping £60 billion to the UK economy and employing 2million people.
What Does The Future Hold?
‘Driving For Change’ is excited to report a life-altering assignment to oblige funds to the vulnerable homeless, especially to the gauged 130,000 families made homeless ever since the Covid-19 pandemic hit. Founding in sequence with ‘World Homeless Day’ in 2021 October, Change Please allied forces with patrons like Colgate, HSBC UK, and sub-sponsor Mastercard to establish 3 London buses restructured to provide aid and service for those families encountering homelessness.
The Founder of ‘Change Please’, Cemal Ezel stated: “We are thrilled to take this next step in tackling the homelessness crisis in England and the new project in October will help us reach those in need throughout the capital. At Change Please we believe in sustainable approaches to ending homelessness, and Driving For Change will give the most vulnerable people the opportunity to access crucial services which can guide and support them in changing their lives long-term. We hope to take the project nationwide and then internationally to achieve maximum impact; discussions around Paris and Los Angeles have already begun.”
This is surely a game-changer and a heart-touching story that does not have an ending but rather a new beginning filled with expansions and global reach where the poor homeless people can finally get their prayers answered. Food, clothing, and shelter were once the primary need but today’s modern age also acknowledges that health care and cleanliness are also preliminary and both dependent on each other. It is only the initiatives of thoughtful people like them and good Samaritans like you that makes a difference one sip at a time.
