Donations were so large that Shae Bennett, owner of the Daily Grind at 1919 E. First St. in Port Angeles, said she and her six employees plan to adopt one family through the Salvation Army's program.
In the Adopt A Family program, the wish list of everyone in a family is given to the "adopter" and fulfilled.
Donations flow in
On Nov. 20 and 21, the coffee shop advertised their plans, and donations came flowing in.
"By the end, they had raised $937.50," Bennett said.
"They were so excited."
Bennett matched the donations, rounding the donation to $1,875, she said.
