COFFEE PROGRAM AT NGCC

If you have a Keurig coffee machine, we have a new program that can benefit you and NGCC at the same time!  Cabby's Coffee has developed a program that will donate $1 per box of K-Cups purchased back to the community centre.  And they will deliver the coffee to your home (within the St.Vital/St. Boniface area) to boot!  Check out their website here for more details and to see what types of coffee and tea you can order.  Keep in mind that all the K-Cups are recyclable, and Cabby will pick up pods to recycle for you when he drops off your order, so this program is good for the environment as well.
