National cafe chain The Coffee Club will offer all frontline workers a free coffee with any take-away meal, in appreciation of their efforts keeping communities operational and safe amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

The complimentary coffee is available to all essential workers including those in aged care, education, healthcare and retail industries.

Frontline workers free coffee

 The Coffee Club CEO Nick Bryden said a free coffee is just a small way for their stores to say thank you to all community members on the frontline who are working through these tough times.

“During this time, it’s more important than ever for us to show solidarity and help each other.  We see this as a great opportunity to support frontline workers, while they support us and our network of small businesses,” Bryden said.

“What better way to say thank you, than to offer a free coffee when they pop by for breakfast or to take-away with their lunch.”

The free coffee is available at any outlet across the country when frontline workers order a meal and show proof of workplace ID, uniform, badge or staff card.

This initiative is one of several launched by The Coffee Club this week, with the brand now offering customers access to many grocery items for pick up through ‘The Coffee Club Pantry’ initiative.

 The Coffee Club Pantry favourites include coffee beans, bread, milk, bacon rashers, sweet potato chips, haloumi cheese, potato wedges, sliced cheese, eggs, chicken nuggets and tortilla wraps, to name a few.

The initiative provides customers with the opportunity to take home shopping essentials in bulk that have been stripped from supermarket shelves. All orders are to be arranged directly with local stores.

The Coffee Club Pantry complements the ‘Care Kits’ launched by the brand last week as a way for Aussies to deliver basic essentials to those in self-isolation. The Care Kits are made up of basic staples including milk (dairy and non-dairy), a loaf of bread, and coffees, cakes or other menu items.
