The idea of starting a coffee company comes from a simple feeling that coffee is made to bring happiness to people. A morning walk, a mid-day meet up with a friend or after dinner table talk can all be made better with a good cup of coffee. Partnering with a charity was always a main focus as Roy’s Roast took off. I have had a connection to dogs starting as far back as I can remember. I believe dogs bring so much love and companionship to our lives. Inspired by my own experience with how much a dog’s love and support can do for the soul, and as a tribute to our first Fur baby, Roy, who did just that, we will be donating $1 a bag to Paws for a Cause. Giving to a great cause who can help train services dogs to support those with emotional and physical needs, even just a little bit, makes me feel like we are doing our part to give back to the animals who selflessly give so much to us.
