Participants at the event make a donation in exchange for a cup of coffee.  Become a Coffee Break(TM) Host: You can host a break in your workplace, home, church, school, at your community centre, in a local mall, or anywhere you can set up a stand and serve coffee. You can offer tea and juice as well as coffee, and add cookies, or pastries to increase the donations. Another way to help raise funds is to sell coffee cup cut-outs at your coffee break.  Individuals can purchase a coffee cup cut-out write their name on it and then display it.
