Looking for your next cup of coffee with a cause? Get ready to blast off with the Outer Space Blend, a brand-new brew with a mission that’s truly out of this world.
In a creative collaboration that’s equal parts inspiring and energizing, Road Recovery—a music industry-driven nonprofit supporting at-risk youth—and Mid-Hudson Works—an organization empowering disadvantaged veterans—have teamed up with none other than Fred Schneider of The B-52’s (yes, the world-famous party band!) to launch this cosmic coffee campaign.
🚀 The Outer Space Blend isn’t just another coffee. It’s a movement.
Sales of this sustainably sourced, fair-trade coffee will directly fund programs helping young people struggling with mental health issues and other adversities, as well as veterans building workforce skills and career paths.
Named after a song Fred Schneider wrote, recorded, and performed with Road Recovery’s youth and Creative Staff Mentors, the Outer Space Blend is available in light, medium, and dark roasts. It’s roasted with love by North River Roasters, a progressive coffee company based in the Hudson Valley of New York, known for its commitment to organic and ethical practices.
🎸👽☕ Why it matters:
- Road Recovery leverages the power of music and mentorship to help young people navigate difficult life challenges like addiction, mental health struggles, and trauma.
- Mid-Hudson Works provides employment and training opportunities to veterans facing significant barriers to entering the workforce.
- North River Roasters believes in sourcing coffee that supports both the planet and people—and now they’re making it even easier to sip for a cause.
This cosmic collaboration is a perfect gift idea for the holidays—or really, any time you want to feel good about your morning (or afternoon, or evening) brew. Supporting mental health, workforce development, and creativity all in one cup? That’s what we call a win-win-win.
Keep the Outer Space Blend in mind for your coffee roundups, celebrity-driven causes, sober-friendly gift guides, or anytime you’re celebrating creativity for a cause.
🌟 Because sometimes, saving the world really does start with your morning coffee.
