The Screaming Bean will donate every dollar made on Wednesday to assist the family of a motorcyclist who was involved in an accident, according to a Facebook post by the coffee shop.
Both of the shops’ locations, on Churchville Road and onsite at Aberdeen Proving Ground, will not make a profit that day as they will be giving to the family of a motorcyclist who was injured after a gruesome accident on Route 40. All money donated will help offset some of his medical costs.
The man was riding his motorcycle northbound on Route 40 through Edgewood when he was struck by a Lincoln Navigator.
At each Screaming Bean location, there will be a tip jar for guests who would like to donate something extra.
In addition to donations made in the shop, The Screaming Bean pledged it would contribute an additional $1,000 on top of all money made if the original post announcing the initiative received more than 1,000 shares on Facebook.
“No post is more important to share this month than this one,” the coffee shop said in the comment section of its announcement.
For community members who would like to contribute but won’t be able to make it in person, the coffee shop says profit made through delivery platforms will count. There will also be a place on the website on Wednesday to donate online.
This charitable fundraising is not the coffee shop’s first time; the Churchville Road location raises money for a different charity each month. At the APG location, The Screaming Bean focuses its fundraising on CHEP Inc., a nonprofit that helps build permanent housing for homeless veterans.
“This is what community means to us: showing up, giving back, and being there for each other when it matters most,” the social media post said.
