Coffee chain partners with Santa Cops, Serve 6.8, and Life Stories to bring holiday cheer to children across Northern Colorado
NORTHERN COLORADO — The Human Bean Northern Colorado is once again spreading holiday cheer with its annual toy drive, running from November 6 through November 30 at all 10 drive-thru locations across the region.
Customers who bring a new, unwrapped toy valued at $10 or more will receive a voucher for a free 20-ounce drink to use in January 2026. All donations will go to Santa Cops of Weld County, Serve 6.8, and Life Stories, ensuring gifts reach children and teens in need across Northern Colorado.
“Gifts for all ages, especially teens, are needed this year,” said Valerie Katalenic, Senior Manager for The Human Bean. “There are so many parents struggling to provide a joyous holiday for their children—it’s comforting to know we can help.”
To kick off the drive on November 6, The Human Bean will host each nonprofit as a Guest Barista Day from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. at select locations:
- Santa Cops of Weld County – 3310 23rd Avenue, Evans
- Serve 6.8 – 6180 E. Crossroads Boulevard, Loveland
- Life Stories – 3665 W. 10th Street, Greeley
Each of these three locations will also donate 10% of sales on November 6 to their respective nonprofits.
