‘Dutch Luv Day’ raises money Friday for Springs Rescue Mission

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) -- If you're looking for a cup of coffee Friday, head over to any Dutch Bros location in Colorado Springs where a portion of your purchase will be donated to the Springs Rescue Mission.

Friday is "Dutch Luv Day" and for every drink purchased, $1 is donated to the rescue mission to help fund their programs. The rescue mission relies on donations for 80-90% of their funding.

Dutch Bros Coffee has been raising money on "Dutch Luv Day" in February for the past 16 years. In total, the company has raised $2.3 million for nonprofits.

Locally, Dutch Bros chose the Springs Rescue Mission as their nonprofit this year because they say their work is far-reaching in the community and they've seen the good the shelter does.

The rescue mission said they're grateful for the donations not only to fund their services but also because it shows the people at the mission how the community cares about them and thinks about them.
