Stay Grounded FAQs
What is this exactly?
Go Fund Bean has partnered with Oatly in order to create the Stay Grounded Initiative, which will give 16 vouchers for a 3-month membership to Talkspace, which will include unlimited texting and one (1) video call per month. It will be open to all hourly coffee professionals who have worked in coffee in the past 12 months. We are offering this because during anecdotal conversations we’ve had as a Board, and feedback from our latest survey, one of the things that folks have been struggling with the most is their mental health. The service model for the coffee professional has completely changed due to the health and safety demands because of the pandemic, and customer demands have gotten more stringent, all of which has taken a toll on the working coffee professional.
The Stay Grounded Initiative is closed until 2021. Please sign up for our newsletter to get more information as to when it opens up again.
