The Mobile Mug was created in 2023 by Cheryl Bugbee with one simple goal: to bring joy to the educators in our school. Knowing how hard teachers and staff work each day to support and inspire students, the Mobile Mug began as a small way to show appreciation — one cup of coffee and one baked good at a time.

What started as a gesture of gratitude within the school walls has grown into something much bigger. Today, the Mobile Mug continues to honor our educators while also spreading joy throughout the broader community, recognizing the hard work and dedication of those who make a difference every day.

Mobile Mug is built on one simple belief:

A small treat can make a big difference.

Mobile Mug empowers students through real-world work experiences that develop independence, communication, and career-ready skills — all while giving back to the community we serve. Operating on a donation-based model, supporters are invited to contribute what they can, directly sustaining hands-on learning opportunities and helping the program continue to grow.

Just as in the food industry, The Mobile Mug takes cleanliness , personal hygiene, and food safety very seriously.

This includes frequent and thorough handwashing, hair ties, and the maintenance of clean surfaces and surroundings.

Mobile Mug gives students hands-on experience in:

We are learning today to build careers tomorrow.
