VAN WERT – On Friday, employees from Brewed Expressions spent their day volunteering at the Van Wert General Health District, which has been inundated with work for the past year due to the coronavirus. The owners of Brewed shut down the cafe for the day and paid employees to help out at the health department as part of a program called “Brewed Cares.”
“We want to help; we care and want to give back,” said Brewed Expressions manager Laura Bowen, who noted that the idea of helping out at the health department came from a customer who stressed how busy the health department has been.
