A Small Comfort for Furloughed Workers 💛
We see you.
The government shutdown has placed real strain on so many lives, and we know how heavy that can feel. While we can’t end the shutdown, we can offer a small gesture of care...something to bring a bit of comfort, calm, and joy to your day.
Choose your comfort:
- Coffee: 3 ounce bag of coffee (1 bag) from Chicago French Press (beans or grounds),
- Tea: 4 individual tea bags from Brooklyn Tea, or
- Mocktail: from the Mocktail Club (one can)
We only ask that you cover a small $5 shipping fee to help us get your package safely to you.*
Shipping fee is added at checkout.
If you’re able, you can also help us extend this gesture to others by choosing one of the support options below:
$0 (Complimentary) → Receive your selected item, cover only shipping
$5 (Helper) → Help send comfort to another furloughed worker
$10 (Hero) → Contribute more to support our community effort
Every order helps remind someone they’re not alone.
Even the smallest gestures can carry warmth when it’s needed most.
NOTE: Please use the notes section to indicate your choice of coffee (indicate beans or grounds), tea, or mocktail. Default choice will be tea.
💛 This gesture was created for those directly impacted by the government shutdown. We trust our community to keep this circle of care genuine. At the moment, we can only offer one order per customer. Please help us be mindful of available resources.
Images shown are examples. Your coffee, tea, or mocktail may vary slightly in flavor or variety based on availability.
From all of us at Soul and Story, stay strong — we’re with you.
