Caffeine cravings fuel philanthropic effort

Hastings takes part in Oprah's Big Give: Topeka

Oprah's Big Give is getting bigger thanks to some caffeine cravings.

Craig Gold, Matt Miller and other members of the 49 News team served up hot coffee all day Wednesday at Hastings at 21st and Fairlawn.

Hastings is donating 10 percent of café sales, along with all the tips and donations we received, to support Oprah's Big Give: Topeka.

We're still waiting for a final tally for all the money raised and donated, and will bring you that information when it becomes available.

And you can give to Oprah's Big Give: Topeka. You sign up to volunteer online at ktka.com/oprah or volunteer by calling (785) 215-8524 and ask for Liz Zamora.
