STARBUCKS CREW RAISES FUNDS FOR A SUPERVISOR IN NEED MORE THAN A TEAM

Mark Twain once said, “Find a job you enjoy doing, and you will never have to work a day in your life.” The same can be said about the people you work alongside. When coworkers feel like family, work becomes much more enjoyable as everyone will go above and beyond to ensure everyone feels appreciated and noticed. In some workplaces, this sentiment goes even further. The team at a Starbucks on Marshall University’s campus recently rallied around their supervisor after she experienced an unfortunate event. Karen Collinsworth has worked as a supervisor at Starbucks for decades. She loves her job and enjoys hiring students from the nearby campus to staff her location. Collinsworth developed a maternal role for her team, helping her employees with whatever problems they encountered. When thieves burglarized Collinsworth’s car a few

months ago, her team returned the kindness she had shown them. Collinsworth’s 2004 Kia was robbed twice within a short span of time. The first thief took her catalytic converter, while the second stole interior parts. Karen didn’t have the money to repair her vehicle or buy a new one, which left her in dire straits. Thankfully, her team had her back and started a fundraiser to help Collinsworth get a new car. “After work, when I got back to my dorm, I decided to just make it (the fundraiser) because I figured even if we couldn’t raise that much money, any amount would help her. It was just kind of like a spur of the moment (thing),” said Cassie Gray, a coworker of Collinsworth. The Starbucks team shared the fundraiser on Instagram, Facebook, and YikYak, asking people to

give if they were able. It didn’t take long for them to reach their goal. At first, they aimed to raise $10,000 but brought in more than $40,000 to help Collinsworth with her car troubles. The president of Marshall University donated $5,000 himself! Now, Collinsworth is in the market for a new car instead of repairing her old Kia, thanks to the support of her tremendous coworkers.
