Would you sell bags of gourmet coffee to your co-workers for a good cause?

Asked by RyanJCanada (81points) January 15th, 2009

Hypothetically speaking, would you be willing to sell bags of gourmet coffee (beans or ground) to your friends or co-workers for a good cause? The charity pays the wholesale cost, and the “Coffee Heroes” would sell it for retail. The profit goes to the charity. It’s a really great cause, but you’d need to go through the hassle of ordering the coffee, collecting money, asking people if they want to buy some, etc.

Is it worth it, or is it too much effort? Or would you be worried about being “that friend / co-worker” who’s always bugging people to give to charity? (Bonus question: Is there any specific way the charity should go about asking for you to help out?)
