Tiger Highlight: Firehouse Coffee Shop Brewing Philanthropy in St. James! ☕🚒
A heartfelt thank you to the Community Foundation of the Ozarks for their invaluable support as our high school students continue their philanthropic journey through Firehouse Coffee Shop. Recently, students visited Springfield, where they took part in grantmaking discussions with Rachel Tripp and the Programs team at CFO. Inspired, they explored various coffeehouses, unraveling the origins of these businesses, and have now brought that rich knowledge to Firehouse Coffeeshop.
🌟 What sets Firehouse Coffeeshop apart?
Operated by high school students in the St. James chapter of the Youth Empowerment Project, this program instills profound philanthropic values. Every cup of coffee purchased contributes to grants for local nonprofits, turning your daily dose of caffeine into a powerful force for good in the community!
Ready to be part of the change? Stop by their shop in St. James! #CoffeeForACause #communitypartnerships #stjschools 🐯☕
