This past weekend, our hearts were shaken by the tragic events that took place during the Lapu-Lapu Day Festival in Vancouver. Members of the Filipino community—and the broader public—were left grieving, shocked, and in need of collective support. At Blenz Coffee, we consider ourselves more than just a coffee shop; we are a part of the communities we serve. Today, we stand in solidarity with our Filipino neighbours during this time of unimaginable loss.
In response, we are activating our Blenz Cares initiative across all Blenz Coffee locations. Starting today, donations will be accepted both in-store and online to support those affected—families mourning the loss of loved ones, volunteers coping with trauma, and witnesses seeking a path to healing.
How to Donate:
You can support this cause by:
- Donating at any Blenz Coffee location.
- Add a donation at checkout when placing an online order HERE or through the Blenz app (Download the app to get started)
Every dollar collected will go directly to Filipino BC, a trusted organization working closely with impacted families and individuals to ensure resources and care reach those who need it most.
This initiative reflects our deepest belief: we can’t change what has happened, but we can come together to help build a brighter and more compassionate future.
We invite our guests, community members, and partners to stand with us in this effort. Your generosity—no matter the size—can help bring comfort and hope to those who need it now more than ever.
With heartfelt thanks,
Blenz Coffee
