THE new coffee cart in the Wilsonton Shopping Centre is just a new way to give customers a great product while helping raise some much needed funds for sick children in Toowoomba, according to Harvey Norman's Cara Sherman.
Mrs Sherman, who is the electrical franchisee for the store, said all proceeds from the coffee cart at the centre would be donated to the Toowoomba Hospital Foundation and the Give Me Five for Kids charity.
She said the cart had been stationed near the Harvey Norman on Ruthven St, but had moved to the centre in the past two weeks.
"It's working really well so far," she said.
"We say this as an opportunity to provide a great service while raising some funds and awareness."
Mrs Sherman and her husband Russel, who also works at Harvey Norman, teamed up with Toowoomba businessman Karsten Wendland and Toowoomba Hospital Foundation chief executive officer Peter Rookas.
Mr Wendland said the cart was a nice way to build up a relationship with the community.
The cart sells coffee and some cakes, but will hopefully expand to sandwiches later on.
It is located opposite the Woolworths at the Wilsonton Shopping Centre, and is staffed every day from 8am to 2pm.
