April 1, 2015 (La Mesa)—All the Perks Espresso Café has announced a 15-day fundraiser to benefit young, disadvantaged families of U.S. soldiers. From April 1 through April 15, the coffee shop at 8046 La Mesa Blvd. (in the La Mesa Springs Shopping Center) will donate 10% of sales to Support the Enlisted Project (STEP). The shop will also be a collection point where customers can drop off donated diapers, wipes, clothing, toys, household items, infant car seats, strollers, cribs, high chairs, items for new families, retail and grocery gift cards.

All The Perks is owned and operated by the Vereda family, of Argentinean origin. The family wants to demonstrate their support to the families of those soldiers who are risking their lives daily on the frontline.

STEP is a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to providing financial grants to active duty and recently discharged military and their families in times of crisis and, through one-on-one counseling, creating a path of financial self-sufficiency.
