February Donation Creation

This month we are featuring the

Raspberry Truffle Mocha

February’s Donation Creation is inspired by your favorite box of assorted chocolates – flavors of white and dark chocolate carry a pop of raspberry filling. This latte gets topped with whipped cream and chocolate drizzle, plus a few sweet sprinkles! Enjoy it as a hot latte, iced latte, or blended frappe.

In February, $1 from every Donation Creation sold will be donated to two organizations serving individuals with special needs in our area: Best Buddies of Central Illinois and Night to Shine. Read on to learn more about these tremendous organizations!

Best Buddies of Central Illinois // Tremont + Metamora Recipient

Best Buddies is the world’s largest organization dedicated to ending the social, physical and economic isolation of the 200 million people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). Their programs empower the special abilities of people with IDD by helping them form meaningful friendships with their peers, secure successful jobs, live independently, improve public speaking, self-advocacy and communication skills, and feel valued by society.

On the local level, Best Buddies of Central Illinois is dedicated to building up a volunteer network that creates opportunities for one-to-one friendships inside and out of schools, integrated employment, job coaching, leadership development, and inclusive living for people with IDD.
