Raise Coffee:
Events for Baristas
We love bringing Raise Coffee out into the community, through a table set-up or via our Raise Coffee trailer. We always need a team of baristas. Disability self-advocates, you are invited to sign up for a shift under the event for which you want to volunteer. We will Email you details closer to the day of the event. Thank you for raising with us through your service!

One Really, REALLY, BIG Party:
The 2026 "TRUNK or TREAT"
SELF-ADVOCATES/Coffee Cart Business Teachers & Staff
​​​​
We are going to have so much fun this year!
Come out to our annual "Trunk or Treat" event. Costumes are welcome! Please bring a "treat" bag with you!
You're invited to visit the participating "trunks" -- with costumed characters and "treats." We will have coffee [of course!] and other beverages at the Raise Trailer as we celebrate our 10th Anniversary together!
Music and the traditional "cake walk" will also be part of the event. That's right -- you have the chance to win a cake for playing a game. Trust us: It's a winner every time!
​

This is a FREE event. We are celebrating us but, most especially, YOU, for supporting and volunteering with us for the past 10 years.

"Trunk" Hosts and Raise Trailer Volunteers
​
We are excited to not only be hosting another "Trunk or Treat" -- one of our favorite events -- but also to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of Raise Coffee.
Would you help us out by volunteering to host a "trunk"? We will have many self-advocates visiting and we want to give them an amazing experience with fun costuming, themed "trunks" and yummy treats. (And we ask that you please be allergy-friendly with your "treats," so more of our visitors can participate in more "trunks." Thanks!)
We would also love to have some volunteers helping inside our Raise Trailer, which will be serving coffee [of course!] and other beverages during the afternoon. Music and the traditional "cake walk" will also be a part of the event.
