It’s No Trick – Teachers, Treat Yourselves!
As a small business centered around giving back, Zombie Coffee and Donuts will host a “Teacher Appreciation Day” on Tuesday, October 5, to honor Columbia’s local community of educators. Those presenting a valid teacher ID will each receive a complimentary donut with purchase of a coffee drink. This sweet gesture will thank those who are rising to the unique challenge of inspiring and teaching their students in new ways during this unprecedented time.
“We are so excited to be celebrating three years in Columbia this October,” said Tony Raffa, founder of Zombie Coffee & Donuts. “While many things have changed going into this year, we truly appreciate the support we have received from our customers and we remain committed to giving back through our Zombie Gives Back program and serving the Columbia community with fun, creative new offerings to celebrate the season.”
Raffa founded Zombie Coffee and Donuts in 2016 in Athens, Georgia as a University of Georgia business student with the mission to serve delicious made-to-order donuts and hand-crafted coffee while creating an impact in the community. The Columbia location opened in October 2017, spreading the reach of Zombie’s delicious offerings and creative business model. Created as a social enterprise to be a catalyst for positive change, Zombie’s unique business model offers opportunities for local non-profits to fundraise and Raffa consistently seeks new ways to give back to each store’s local community.
This month’s featured charities include Ron Howell Foundation, Camp Discovery and Junior Achievement of Greater South Carolina.
