Lake City, Florida (October 24, 2024) – Ellianos Coffee, a southeast-based drive-thru specialty coffee brand, is proud to announce its recent initiative in support of National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF). The Ellianos Coffee corporate team came together to pack 50 HOPE Kits filled with essential items for women bravely fighting breast cancer across the country.
