EAST LANSING, Mich. — February 18-24 BIGGBY® COFFEE will be partnering with Michigan native Kristen Bell and This Bar Saves Lives, the company she co-founded with fellow partners Ryan Devlin, Todd Grinnell, and Ravi Patel, for their second annual national food bank initiative.

To thank them for their generosity, for every $1 donated BIGGBY® COFFEE will be offering a $1 coupon toward their next visit. The money donated to each BIGGBY® COFFEE will go to a food bank agency within the stores local market, so customers can rest assured that the money they donate will remain in their community.

With a purpose that “we exist to love people,” BIGGBY® COFFEE is making great efforts to help support people in building lives they love and sometimes that means providing basic food necessities. Brewing Change food bank initiatives allow BIGGBY® COFFEE to make a difference in the communities they live, work, and play.

To make a difference globally, BIGGBY® COFFEE has partnered with This Bar Saves Lives, a delicious snack company that sends life-saving food to children in need around the world with every purchase. These bars will be featured in stores throughout this period to reward those that donate $5 or more. Partnering with This Bar Saves Lives gives BIGGBY® COFFEE the opportunity to touch even more hearts and homes, widening their scope of reach to a global level.

When $5 or more is donated, customers will receive a free This Bar Saves Lives snack bar.

As an added bonus, customers will receive a postcard featuring a quote from and image of Kristen Bell, co-founder of This Bar Saves Lives, and further information on the nationwide campaign being run by BIGGBY® COFFEE.
