Santa's little helpers at News Scotland delivered our office Christmas donations to Launch Foods today! 🎄 🚀 Launch is not only a fantastic place to enjoy a coffee, cake, or lunch, but every purchase helps to feed a hungry child in Glasgow. In response to Glasgow’s alarming child poverty rates, Launch Foods foundation was established in 2018 with the sole purpose of tackling child food poverty in the city. 100% of all profits from Launch Coffee go towards supporting the operations of Launch Foods’ foundation. This is just a small part of what Launch does for the wider community – it is a remarkable organisation with a strong commitment to community values. Over the past month, our team has been collecting donations of hats, scarves, gloves, and selection boxes for the kids. JP was overjoyed and very thankful for the donations. If you are in Glasgow, please visit their cafe, and keep an eye out for their new location opening in Princes Square in 2025. Nicola Gribben Liz Mulgrew Launch Foods
