Veteran’s Roasters Cup O’ Joe coffee was founded with a very simple mission: find veterans who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless and give them an opportunity to gain back their dignity while roasting some great coffee! In partnership with a Chicago roasting company, Passion House Coffee Roasters, we train and employ Chicagoland veterans. There are over 400,000 veterans in Chicago- several thousand of whom are homeless or chronically unemployed. Last year, hundreds of thousands of veterans were homeless for at least one night in America.
