Drawing from nearly $4,000 raised from selling hundreds of signs since they started on April 5, the Wollen family pre-purchased 150 coffees for Gaylord staff from Rogue Coffee Co., which visited the hospital on Thursday. Though the truck intended to visit twice for the morning and afternoon shift, it was so well received that all 150 coffees sold out in a couple hours.
