About Our Stand
The E-Z Coffee Stand was founded in the summer of 2005 to promote the interest of the community to start making a difference through charities around the world. The coffee stand was founded by Elsa and Zach, kids from the Washington Heights Neighborhood, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Because of this coffee stand, we won the Interfaith Conference of Milwaukee Youth Leadership Award (2005). We would like to thank all of our loyal customers and all our family and friends!
Afterwards, Zach founded a organization called Youth for Change International. YFCI is a youth-led organization, campaign, and community that spreads the word about different world issues and empowers youth to take action. We have over 350 members from over 70 countries around the globe. For More Information, click here.
E-Z Coffee Stand Location, Hours and Prices
We will be open from 7:00 to 9:00 AM. We are located right on the street corner of Hi Mount Blvd and Vine Streets. Get directions.
As a diverse neighborhood with people with many different financial situations, we try to keep our prices low, but continue to help make a difference around the world through varios charities. Get Alterra Coffee (it's Organic, Fair Trade, and is the best gourmet coffee around), support a charity, and a smile for only one dollar.
"All Tips go to Charity"
Throw your spare change in the Tip Jar!
Season 4 (Summer 2008): This year, we hope to raise enough money to buy a well for a community in Africa through the United Nations International Children's Fund (UNICEF).
Season 3 (Summer 2007): Heifer International- We will be changing our main charity to Heifer International, rather than UNICEF. This change is because we would like to support different organizations in different fields of helping others. A goal of a animal to send will be determined, once we get closer to our summer llaunching. Remember; "All Tips go to Heifer!".
Seasons 2 and 1 (Summers 2006 and 2005): UNICEF, UNICEF USA- Since we had wanted to thank the Milwaukee UNICEF Gift Store, on the corner of 54th and Vliet Street (now closed), we started a "All Tips go to UNICEF" policy. We have recieved many compliments on it. We hope to continue this policy and we hope you will donate your extra change to this wonderfull cause.
Thank you for your generous support for our mission!
In the past, we donated more money to UNICEF and Heifer International than we earned profit. This is a tradition we continue today.
