Even so, plenty of folks—myself included—have been confused or curious about the safety of allowing restaurants to continue preparing and serving food. Is it actually safe? Should I reheat the food when I get it home? Is it better to support local businesses by ordering food, or am I only putting workers and delivery people at risk? And if I’m cooking my own food, what guidelines should I follow?

The coffee industry is in the middle of a crisis and they need our help. Coffee shops and their employees have been devastated by the effects of COVID-19 and social distancing measures. That's why we're getting everyone together on Saturday, April 11th to #RallyforCoffee by making a purchase online or for takeout at your local coffee shop.

This crisis has shaken up our coffee community and its supply chain. Many coffee shops & restaurants have been forced to close or reduce operations, putting thousands of coffee professionals out of work. Through Rally for Coffee, industry professionals can promote their work and share their stories.

From now through April 30, 2020 (while supplies last), JNP Coffee will donate 5% of the purchase price on contracts of 10 bags or more to the Virtual Tip Jar (VTJ) of your choice. In the space of a week – which already seems like months – our world has gotten a lot smaller. We feel the need, especially at this unimaginably difficult time, to find ways to support those who help make our coffee industry successful. JNP Coffee is ready to do our part. We’ve developed a program that will provide some financial relief to the baristas and café staff who prepare and serve our coffee. As the demand for online coffee sales grows and cafés are temporarily closed, you can use the power of your coffee purchases to help baristas and café staff suddenly facing under-employment or unemployment. Here’s how it works: JNP Coffee will redirect a portion (5%) of your purchase price for micro-lots from the current harvest to support baristas and café staff through VTJs. Choose a VTJ from the list on Sprudge (https://sprudge.com/support-local-coffee-shops-and-staff-by-filling-their-virtual-tip-jars-161417.html) or request that your favorite cafe have their VTJ added to this published list. The micro-lots for this special program are produced by farmers of the IWCA Burundi Chapter, other women's groups, as well as farmers in our Dushime™ program. All farmers have already received their premiums from JNP Coffee for these sweet, delicious Burundian coffees. You can make your purchase count for baristas and café staff. The potential value generated by this program for Virtual Tip Jars is more than $12,000. To order, call us at +1 (858) 518-7437 or email us at jeanine@jnpcoffee.com.
