For most of us, coffee is that delicious first sip in the morning that warms your whole body. But for some people, coffee is a way of coping with life. In this episode, Tom Harden talks about his role in helping those who need it the most. When he heard that the Oake family were planning to build the Bruce Oake Recovery Centre in his neighbourhood to honour their late son who died of an overdose in 2011, he knew he wanted to be involved in some way.

Knowing that coffee is the mainstay for all rehab and addiction centres, he created “Baristas 4 Bruce”, with the help of a local supplier, and started selling coffee beans at local coffee shops and retailers. Tom pays for the coffee upfront and shares that it’s his contribution to the cause. In addition to the coffee, he also sells jars of his “Bees 4 Bruce” honey. Tom donates 100% of all proceeds from the sale of coffee and honey to the Bruce Oake Recovery Centre. His goal is to raise enough money to pay for a whole year’s supply of coffee.
We can all be an agent of hope like Tom. And sometimes, all it takes is a cup of coffee.
