Lake City, Florida (October 25, 2024) – Ellianos Coffee, a southeast-based drive-thru specialty coffee brand, is proud to announce its recent initiative in support of National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF). The Ellianos Coffee corporate team came together to pack 50 HOPE Kits filled with essential items for women bravely fighting breast cancer across the country. This heartwarming event was a testament to the company’s commitment to making a positive impact in the community.
The HOPE Kits, carefully curated with items to provide comfort and support, will be distributed by NBCF to women undergoing treatment for breast cancer. Each kit contains various essential items, including personal care products, inspirational notes, and cozy accessories designed to bring the recipients joy and relief during their challenging journey.

Customers were given the opportunity to round up their coffee orders, with the additional funds directly benefiting the foundation. This initiative was met with overwhelming support from the community, showcasing the collective effort to contribute to a cause that affects so many lives.
Lawton Unrau, President of Ellianos Coffee, expressed his enthusiasm for the initiative, stating, “We are incredibly excited about the success of our packing party and the funds raised for the National Breast Cancer Foundation. It’s inspiring to see our team and customers come together to support such an important cause.”
