Emergency service workers are invited to come down to Griffith Central and get subsidised coffees, paid for by Fortem Australia.

Fortem Australia has put forward $300 to Amanti in order to pay for the coffees, which will be on offer to first responders in conjunction with other Australia-wide recognition events.

Monuments around the country will be lit up in teal in recognition of our first responders, including Canberra's National Carillon and Telstra Tower, Sydney's Town Hall and The Cube in Wodonga.

Bonnie Browne, a barista from Amanti Di Caffe is all for the event.

"It's a great idea to show support for the people who support us when we most need it, especially after 2020."

Fortem's general manager of service delivery Jae Lee says that the day is especially important as an opportunity for the community to show thanks.

"Many people in the community have personal reasons to be thankful for the work our first responders do. June 9 gives us all a chance to demonstrate this thanks explicitly. They may be small gestures, but they express big gratitude," Ms Lee said in a statement.

First responders are encouraged to come to the cafe and enjoy a coffee, whether on duty or off duty. ID will be required if not in uniform.
