THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE HOME (CONTINUED) While the pandemic certainly created a myriad of problems, it also provided a boost in business. “Care for seniors has sparked new interest,” notes Ken. “Enhancing the care of seniors in their homes is our number one priority. We must stay diligent in finding new ways of improving the quality of care and services for our seniors. Home Instead is joining forces with Honor. Together, we are the only company in the world combining high tech with high-touch care on a global scale,’ he says. In addition to an innovative mentality, Ken recognizes the power of communication with clients’ family members. “We’re available to families 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. They know they can count on us,” he says. Ken’s commitment to communication also extends to community outreach. His team can be found delivering Thanksgiving dinners and Christmas gifts to those in need during the holiday season. Home Instead is also involved with a number of charitable organizations, including Acts of Kindness, Become a Pen Pal, Be a Santa Team members
to a Senior, Champions of Aging, GIVE65, Hilarity for Charity, Home Instead Charities, and Walk to End Alzheimer’s. While there’s never a dull moment in the daily operations, Ken and his Home Instead family wouldn’t have it any other way. “What we do is more than a job, it’s a calling,” he says. “You must have a ‘servant’s heart’ and enjoy serving others. We love what we do because it has a purpose.” https://www.homeinstead.com/location/280/

In keeping with the seasonal spirit of gratitude, the St. Paul’s family is full of thanks for their consistently uplifting community. “In 2021, we are thankful for our community,” says Gomes.

INSPIRED BY (CONTINUED) CL: HOW DID GENEROUS COFFEE BEGIN? BH: The idea came in July of 2017 and we launched in January of 2018. When the show [The Bachelor] happened, our fundraising increased 500% within a year and that was awesome, but we also knew that it probably wasn’t going to last. So, during that time we asked ourselves how we can make funding this non-profit more sustainable, and we came up with the idea that we could start a for-profit business and call ourselves “for-purpose.” The founders were financially-able enough to sign off on donating 100% of our profits to non-profits, now that we had the platform to do it.

is it? Go after that. There’s a purpose for the life we are living and when people get out and care for others well the world is a better place. Stay curious; look at the needs around you and use your impact to be a community maker. That’s the message I’d like to share. Plus, you can do that sitting on your couch drinking a great cup of Generous Coffee.
