New England Coffee gives teachers traveling coffee breaks

MALDEN, Mass. (WLNE) – New England Coffee has been delivering coffee to hardworking area school teachers this month as part of their #ThankYouBreak campaign.

Since the beginning of the campaign, New England Coffee has served over 1,000 cups of coffee at schools in Massachusetts and New Hampshire.

“It has never been more important to show our gratitude to the educators in our communities,” said Melissa Gilreath, Director of Marketing for New England Coffee. “Delivering a coffee break is the best way for our company to thank the teachers and support staff who have always been at the cornerstone of our communities, but now must work even harder to overcome the challenges associated with COVID-19. They teach in towns and cities across the region where our employees live and where New England Coffee has been served for over 100 years. They have certainly earned a small break in their day to receive our thanks and drink some coffee.”

New England Coffee is using their Free Coffee Café, a coffee shop on wheels, to deliver the coffee.

Participants are also encouraged to fill gift bags with single serve pods, bottles of ready-to-drink iced coffee and sample-size ground coffees from New England Coffee to take home for future coffee breaks.

There are at least six more school visits planned in upcoming weeks, including Portland High School in Portland, Maine, and the Malden YMCA in Malden, Mass.

New England Coffee hopes to continue the #ThankYouBreak moving forward.
