Coffee Trail 2026
In honor of National Coffee Day in September, we are having our third annual Coffee Trail fundraiser! Collect unique codes from each location on the trail guide and redeem your complimentary coffee from these awesome shops! Visit as many of the coffee shops as you can during the 7-week period, and then enter to win a prize!
How it works:
- 400 CCRM Coffee Trail Guides will become available online at 9am on Monday, September 14th. THIS YEAR, we are offering a guide for TWO separate regions – a NORTH and SOUTH.
- For a gift of $25 to Capital City Rescue Mission, donors receive a trail guide filled with free coffee offers from participating shops. Guides are ONLY available ONLINE, then will be sent to you VIA SNAIL MAIL. Visit the shops in any order to collect codes and redeem offers. Trail guides are valid September 28 – November 16, 2026 with NO exceptions.
- Be sure to get your trail guide the day they go on sale so you have plenty of time to visit as many locations as possible. Collect coffee shop codes within the timeline to enter to win prizes.
- The more coffee shops you visit, the more entries you get to win the grand prize! So, you DON’T have to go to all of the coffee shops in each region within the 7 weeks. BUT if you do, it is your BEST chance of winning!
(Please check with each shop for their hours before arriving to redeem offers)
