Embrace the Spirit of Giving
As part of the Black Friday festivities, Lakefront Brewery continues to champion community spirit through their Warm Hearts Community Coat Drive, partnering with George Washington Carver Elementary. Those donating a gently used coat suitable for children receive a retro Black Friday beer as a token of gratitude, blending the joy of giving with the pleasure of receiving exclusive brews.
The brewery gladly welcomes winter apparel such as hats, gloves, and coats, highlighting the importance of colorful and suitable options for children, especially young girls and teens. This initiative aligns perfectly with Lakefront’s ethos of giving back, ensuring participation in this cherished tradition has a meaningful impact on the local community.
