SARATOGA SPRINGS — Death Wish Coffee Company, creators of the World’s Strongest Coffee, will be accepting donations of new and unwrapped toys at their Saratoga Springs headquarters during normal store hours, starting Nov. 1 and running through Dec. 3. The first 1,000 people who donate toys at Death Wish Coffee will receive a free pound of coffee. Additionally, those who stop by to donate toys will also be entered into a raffle for a chance to win a Death Wish Coffee prize basket valued at $500.
To ensure children in the community have the best holiday season possible, Death Wish Coffee is partnering with local organizations around Saratoga County. The company collected more than 980 toys last year and hopes to receive more than 1,500 donations this year. This is the sixth year in a row that Death Wish Coffee has participated in Toys for Toga.
“Since 2015, in partnership with Toys for Toga, Death Wish Coffee has collected over 6,000 toys for the children of Saratoga County,” said John Swedish, Director of Strategic Engagement and Partnerships. “With the support of the community, our goal in 2021 is to collect over 1,500 toys.”
The 9th annual Toys for Toga drive includes DeCresente Distributing Company, Druthers Brewing Company, and more. All the money raised and toys donated are divided equally among Franklin Community Center, CAPTAIN Youth and Family Services, and Mechanicville Area Community Services.
Anyone interested in donating new, unwrapped toys can drop them off at Death Wish Company’s HQ + retail shop.
“We’re so excited to welcome people into the retail shop and see how many toys we can collect this year to support our community,” said Angie Bailey, Retail Manager. “Those who stop in will have the chance to score a free bag of coffee, sample our latest blends, and help support a cause we care deeply about.”
Death Wish Coffee HQ is located at 260 Broadway, Saratoga Springs, NY 12866. Store hours are Monday – Saturday 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday 11a.m. to 5 p.m. For those who want to support Toys for Toga but may not live locally, donations can be made via GoFundMe at www.gofund.me/63104287
