Take a Moment: Think pink this month
Up above you’ll notice a pink Terminal T. We hope you’re already aware of our black Terminal T-shirt (among others).
Click here to learn about our efforts to support local charities through t-shirt sales. Well, we decided to expand it just a little more for the month of October.
The pink shirts will only be available for the month of October and in addition to the $1 that goes to The Community Kitchens of Birmingham, an additional $1 will be donated to the Susan G. Komen Foundation of North Central Alabama. Spread the word if you can.
Don’t forget about the Race for the Cure coming up on October 13.

Take a Moment: Brew a cup of coffee, support a local organization
We were out starting to place our bright orange fliers around town over the weekend when we stumbled across a yard sale at the Crestwood Coffee Company. The sale was to raise funds for Black Warrior Riverkeeper. It was also a great opportunity to debut a new a new dark roast named in the organization’s honor by Higher Ground Roasters over in Leeds, AL. Proceeds from the sale of the new roast blend will go to support the non-profit organization. You can order it online or pick some up throughout the Birmingham metro region (a list is included in the Locust Fork Journal’s post about the coffee and the yard sale).
What better way to support the cause?
