Freedom Hill Coffee Roasters T By Amanda Renkiewicz
he healing powers of a hot cup of coffee are impossible to properly praise. For the countless people who begin their morning with a steaming mug of this nectar of the gods, coffee represents a rejuvenation of mind and spirit. It sustains us during the long days and certainly through the dark winters. Yet it can do so
much more, making measurable differences in the lives of others. Scott Thomas, a veteran and businessman, has created a stunning symmetry between delicious coffee and charitable giving through Freedom Hill Coffee Roasters. He offers a haven where Veterans and First Responders can come to participate in peer-led PTSD therapy, enjoy family-friendly
camaraderie, events, and recreational activities. Every order helps put veterans to work in a supportive environment and funds their partnerships with organizations that help veterans when they need it most. An impressive 20% of their net proceeds go to the nonprofit organization Mission 22, and supports their goal of bringing the veteran suicide rate to zero.
“It’s amazing how the world begins to change through the eyes of a cup of coffee.” -Donna A. Favors
