Sunnyside Up Café, 116 N.W. Third St., is giving away 1,000 lattes in celebration of kindness during the month of August.
In a humorous press release given to the Gazette-Times and other media outlets, Sunnyside Up owners Jon and Mary Gold write:
“Aware that some people are strongly opposed to the concept of kindness and even in the concept of themed months, Sunnyside Up is determined to not let this controversy stop them from taking a stand for what is right and for what is good in this world.”
“There are those who believe that kindness is a finite resource. We respect their right to believe that but we feel that kindness should be shared. It has been medically proven that hoarding kindness can lead to low spirits, apathy and general curmudgeonlyness,” Jon Gold is quoted as saying in the same release.
Working in conjunction with several businesses in downtown Corvallis, Sunnyside Up will be handing out 1,000 Random Act of Kindness cards which entitle the bearer to a free latte, mocha or chai. The recipient of the card can redeem the card, or in the spirit of things, may pass it on to someone else.
Participating businesses include Peak Sports, Sibling Revelry, Mod Pod, Gracewinds Music, Block 15, Robnett’s Hardware, Stoker’s VitaWorld, Many Hands Trading and Golden Crane.
