COFFEE on Loddon and Bridgewater Primary School have teamed up to spread kindness to the community.
Primary school students have decorated coffee sleeves with kind messages as a part of their “Coffee Cups of Kindness” initiative, available to Coffee on Loddon customers with the purchase of a medium or large hot drink. 
There is also a donation jar at the coffee van with all donations being distributed to Sunshine Bendigo, a community-based, volunteer group that provides practical support to families experiencing challenging times in the Central Victoria region. 
“The kids have done such wonderful work, it’s such a beautiful initiative,” said Nicole, “We’re thrilled to be working with our local school.”
Launched in partnership with the local coffee van, Coffee on Loddon, the initiative sees takeaway coffee cups wrapped in custom-designed sleeves, each bearing messages of positivity, gratitude, and encouragement. Customers are invited to enjoy their coffee and, if inspired, drop a donation into a jar at the counter. All funds raised will go directly to Sunshine Bendigo.
Sunshine Bendigo is a volunteer-run organisation that supports families in need by collecting and redistributing essential baby goods and nursery items. 
The charity was selected by Bridgewater Primary School students in Years 3 to 6, who researched a range of local organisations before voting on a cause to support that was close to their hearts.
