Owner Edwin Sta. Therese, who works as an X-ray technician at THC, said they donated to THC last April 1, to DFEMS last April 2, and to DPS last April 3. He said the donation acknowledges these employees\u2019 work in the fight against the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>While there are no COVID-19 cases on Tinian right now, Sta. Therese said he still appreciates the island\u2019s frontliners in their readiness to combat the pandemic if ever it reaches Tinian\u2019s shores.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am also a first responder and it is not easy to be a frontliner,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the items Coffee &amp; Bread donated are some of the bakery\u2019s bestsellers, including hot pandesal, ensaymada, kalihim, and pudding.<\/p>\n<p>Sta. Therese said Coffee &amp; Bread also made the donation as a responsible member of the island\u2019s business community and as a way of giving back to residents who have been supporting his business.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt really feels nice to give something back to the community,\u201d said Sta. Therese, adding that he again plans to donate some of his bakery goodies to THC, DFEMS, and DPS this week.<\/p>\n<p>Coffee &amp; Bread opened on Tinian on April 29 last year. and was a realization of a childhood dream for Sta. Therese, who worked as a helper in a bakery when he was just 13 years old.<\/p>\n<p>Coffee &amp; Bread is located on the ground floor of the Sai Plaza Building, Broadway Road corner Canal Street.
