We want your life to be better because you decided to walk through that front door, Nickel shared, explaining her mission to use her business as a force for good.This year, Nickel is partnering with local schools to support children in need. Im in talks with a couple of principals in the area here, she said. We will choose a different school in the Fox Valley area, go directly there, and drop off a check to the school administration in that building.Nickel says the inspiration came from a personal experience. I remember as a mom walking in to pick up the schools, and they had the backpacks lined up. I had to ask what they were for, she recalled. I found out thats for the children to take home so that they at least get a little something for an evening meal.Announcing the fund raising effort Monday morning, Nickel said the Kaukauna community has already rallied behind the cause. Its been amazing, Nickel commented. Weve been asking people if they would like to round up. The response on social media has been fantastic, so its just been really great.Donations will be accepted throughout the school year until the beginning of summer break. So, the next time youre in Kaukauna and craving coffee? Consider rounding up to support the cause.
