Share a Mug project update

SHARE A HUG IN A MUG!
How many of us start the day with a cup of coffee – black, cream, sugar? We often take it for granted, yet for the homeless population in our community it’s a treat. HOPE Missions of the Upstate, a charitable and religious non-profit organization located on South Tower Street in Anderson, serves up steaming hot coffee (and breakfast, but we’ll talk about that later) to 75 to 100 people each day. Starting at 7:00 a.m. a volunteer mans the coffeemaker and makes as many as 60 pots of coffee, one after another, going through three to five pounds of coffee, four to six pounds of sugar and up to two 35 oz. containers of powdered non-dairy creamer a day. That adds up to about $50 a day.

Project update

On behalf of the Service Committee, thank you so much for your generosity!  Together we were able to donate over a month’s supply of coffee, cream and sugar to HOPE Missions of the Upstate. On Tuesday, we delivered 130 lbs. of coffee, 62 lbs. of powder creamer and 139 lbs. of sugar! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
