Ellianos has become an integral part of the Suwanee County community. It has solidified itself as a hometown coffee shop, but also a hometown helper. In 2026, the company has already held two fundraisers.
The first fundraiser raised over $8,000 for Evangeline McKenna, a local child suffering from leukemia. Currently, there is a fundraiser going on to support the Clayton family, as Ernie Clayton needs a new heart. That fundraiser is scheduled to end on Thursday, May 14. However, the Ellianos crew is already prepared to support another family right away.
Brittany Durham is a local emergency room nurse and a mother of four. Sadly, she was recently diagnosed with cancer and is facing a double mastectomy. The Durham family is in need of community support as they face medical, travel and living expenses, as Brittany must step away from work during her battle.
Ellianos will be hosting a fundraiser round- up. Whenever someone orders, they can ask their barista to round up the price of the order; all money earned from rounding up will be donated to the Durham family. On top of that, all donations will be matched by the Live Oak locations. The round-up will begin on Friday, May 15, and will last until Monday, June 15.
