Herald Journal: Cache Coffee Purchases Gun Safe to Help Prevent Suicide

In October 2021, The Herald Journal documented the early development of Cache Coffee's voluntary firearm safe-storage effort in Logan.

The story explains why Jamie and Mindie Buttars created the program after losing a close friend to suicide and experiencing other crises in their community. It also documents support from the Marine Corps League Auxiliary Unit 476 Cpl. James L. Anderson and Al's Sporting Goods in helping Cache Coffee obtain secure storage.
