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.

St. Paul’s prides themselves on staying at the forefront of cutting-edge educational endeavors, with regular technology and curriculum updates.

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.
