cHange Please Brewing for Good

unc cHarlotte’s new coffee PartnersHiP is HelPing to

Last spring, the University of North Carolina, Charlotte, introduced the first Change Please in the United States

Founded in the UK, Change Please is an innovative coffee concept where proceeds go to fighting homelessness. The concept offers those facing housing insecurity a career path, housing, training and growth opportunities.

Change Please, in the DuBois Center at the UNC Charlotte Center City, has already raised enough money to successfully invest in new equipment for a second free-standing location near uptown Charlotte. This new location will serve drip coffees, lattes, cappuccinos and other espresso-based drinks before eventually expanding to include food, beer and wine. This secondary location will also be used as a training center for associates to learn barista skills, with the capacity to train more than 200 people a year.

We are so excited for this new and growing partnership and can already see the impact it has made at the university and surrounding Charlotte community.
