Were providing a welcoming space for the community to enjoy informal fellowship with family and friends, said Richard. Well also donate a percentage of the profits to First Family Church.
The addition of the specialty coffee franchise to the church campus reflects a national trend in the partnership of business and faith organizations.
Megachurches, generally defined as churches with weekly attendance of over 2,000 people, are striving to become complete, all-encompassing resources for their members. In addition to the traditional Saturday and Sunday worship services, First Family Church offers sports leagues, career counseling and another two dozen ministries that deal with the spiritual, social and economic needs of its members.
Businesses are beginning to collaborate with faith organizations as they look for alternate venues to reach consumers. Although JO TO GO Coffee has been traditionally focused on developing drive-thru coffee bars, the company is open to alternate methods of communicating with the specialty coffee consumer.
Dick DuBois, president of JO TO GO America, INC, commented: We are interested in reaching the coffee-lover who seeks to enjoy high-quality, specialty coffee drinks on the flybut if a savvy businessperson presents us with an alternate method to reach potential customers and provides an opportunity for JO TO GO Coffee to benefit the local community, were certainly going to take a look.
