Changing Lives, One Cup and Tee at a Time: Veteran Roasters on WGN
Every Rags of Honor tee and every cup of Veteran Roasters coffee represents something bigger than a purchase—it represents a second chance.
We were proud to see our very own Mark and Dion on WGN TV, sharing the mission behind Veteran Roasters Cup O' Joe Coffee and how it’s become a vital part of the Rags of Honor family. Together, we’re committed to creating opportunities for veterans experiencing homelessness or at risk.
As Mark shared during the interview:
“The mission is to just be as committed to every Veteran who wore the uniform as they were to us when they were in uniform. And so we hire homeless and at-risk veterans. We get them off the street. We get them an apartment. We change the arc of their life.”
Since opening our doors, we’ve hired 125 veterans—and we’re not done yet.
