Haiti Fundraiser Update:

Insomnia’s baristas decided to donate all the collected tips from Friday’s work day to Mercy Corps’ work in Haiti. Even though it was a last minute decision, many customers opened their generous hearts and gave more than expected for this cause. We thank you for your help in making this a success!

The baristas at Insomnia came up with a very generous idea. . .to donate a day’s worth of tips to those in need. It’s a small sacrifice for baristas to help with a much bigger cause. . .just a way we can pay it forward! Come by for some good coffee and to support the continued work of Mercy Corps in Haiti.
