From
American Banking News:
"Maui Wowi Hawaiian and Coda Coffee Company have donated bags of
fresh coffee to Sister Souls, Inc. for holiday care packages being sent
to service members overseas.
Maui Wowi is honored to share some comforts of home with U.S.
soldiers serving in Afghanistan this holiday season. The International
franchise company has teamed up with roasting partner Coda Coffee
Company to donate bags of Hawaiian coffee to the Sister Souls, Inc.
organization. They will be used in care packages being sent overseas for
members of the military.
“Maui Wowi is proud, humbled, and honored to support this thoughtful
act of kindness and generosity that Sister Souls has organized,” said
Michael Haith, CEO of Maui Wowi Hawaiian. “We hope the men and women of
our military enjoy our American grown and roasted coffee and are
reminded that there are so many who care about them back home.”
Sister Souls, Inc., a Non-Profit organization based in Lake Orion,
Michigan, is putting together care package shipments for approximately
3,600 service members in Afghanistan in honor of fallen Marine Sgt.
Raymond J. Plouhar who died while serving his country in Iraq.
Maui Wowi was contacted by Sister Souls, Inc. through social media
after seeing the amazing support the franchise has for U.S. service men
and women and asked them to participate in the program. The organization
is gathering supplies that some might take for granted such as everyday
items like body wash, hand sanitizer, granola bars, and coffee. These
items are greatly appreciated and valued by service members.
“It’s amazing what the power of social media can create,” said Lauren
Sullivan, Communications Manager for Maui Wowi. “Reaching out in the
simplest of ways, has given Maui Wowi and Coda Coffee the opportunity to
contribute and share the good will of many organizations like Sister
Souls that are dedicated to helping others.”
Maui Wowi Hawaiian is a gourmet coffee and smoothie company, with
franchises around the world, including the Middle East. The company is
committed to providing franchising opportunities to military veterans
and announced last month an extra discount off the franchise fee to
service members through the end of the year. The Military Giveback
Program was designed to help facilitate the transition into civilian
life as a franchise operator. For more information on Maui Wowi
