Credit Union Spreads #WescomKindness this November 13 at a time when many people need it most
PASADENA, CA (November 10, 2020) — As an act of kindness, Wescom Credit Union will pick up the tab for people at select The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf® locations across Los Angeles, Orange, Ventura, Riverside and San Bernardino counties on World Kindness Day next Friday, November 13—no strings attached. This will be the third year in a row for this #WescomKindness event.
“For many Southern Californians, 2020 has been a ‘challenging’ year and we’re looking forward to sharing a bit of #WescomKindess with local residents, at a time when they might need it most,” said Tamar Atamian, Vice President, Marketing, Wescom. “However you like to start your day—coffee or tea—receiving a small act of kindness can set a positive tone for the day ahead.”
Wescom will pay beverage tabs, up to $15 per transaction, on a first-come, first-served basis beginning the moment the doors open in the morning until $2,000 worth of bills are paid at each of 22 participating The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf® locations. For the list of stores, visit wescom.org/cbtl.
“We’re pleased to partner with Wescom Credit Union again this year to show guests some added kindness on World Kindness Day,” said Christy Smith, director of marketing, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf®. “Even something as simple as a free cup of coffee can create so much joy in today’s climate and we are happy to be a part of spreading positivity across Southern California.”
